Role Overview

We are looking for an experienced Linux DevOps Engineer to join a banking client. The role is heavily focused on Linux administration, automation and infrastructure engineering, with strong hands-on experience in Python and Ansible.

The successful candidate will be responsible for automating infrastructure and operational processes, supporting Linux environments and working closely with engineering and infrastructure teams. Knowledge of F5 networking/load balancing will be highly beneficial.

  • Manage and support Linux/Unix environments across enterprise infrastructure.
  • Develop and maintain automation using Ansible.
  • Write Python scripts for infrastructure automation, monitoring and operational tasks.
  • Automate repetitive infrastructure and deployment processes.
  • Develop and maintain Ansible playbooks, roles and modules.
  • Troubleshoot Linux, application and infrastructure issues.
  • Work with DevOps and infrastructure teams to improve automation and operational efficiency.
  • Support configuration management and infrastructure provisioning.
  • Integrate automation with existing CI/CD and DevOps processes.
  • Monitor system performance, troubleshoot incidents and perform root-cause analysis.
  • Maintain technical documentation and operational procedures.
  • Work within banking-grade security, governance and change-management processes.
  • Collaborate with networking teams, particularly around F5 load-balancing infrastructure.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
