Linux Infrastructure Engineer
Linux Infrastructure Engineer
We are looking for a Linux Infrastructure Engineer who will take ownership of our clients on-premise development infrastructure. You'll be responsible for maintaining, improving and automating the Linux-based infrastructure that supports software and hardware development teams.
This is a hands-on technical role focused on Linux systems, networking, virtualisation, storage and automation. While not directly involved in product development, you will play a key role in ensuring engineers have reliable, high-performing infrastructure to enable the delivery of cutting-edge technology.
The role is primarily based around on-premises infrastructure, with only minimal cloud exposure.
Due to the nature of the position, regular office attendance is required, although hybrid working is available.
Key Responsibilities
- Install, configure and maintain Linux-based physical and virtual infrastructure.
- Manage and support virtualisation platforms, networking and enterprise storage.
- Ensure the availability, performance and security of development infrastructure.
- Develop and maintain infrastructure automation using Infrastructure as Code principles.
- Support and administer CI/CD tooling, build systems and engineering platforms.
- Implement monitoring, alerting and dashboard solutions to maintain platform health.
- Troubleshoot infrastructure, networking and systems issues.
- Work closely with software and hardware engineering teams to support development activities.
- Identify opportunities to improve operational efficiency through automation and tooling.
- Contribute to the ongoing evolution of the engineering infrastructure environment.
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.
