- System Technology (e.g., z/OS, Parallel Sysplex and GDPS system/disaster recovery)

- Logical Storage Technology (e.g., DFSMSdfp/dss/hsm/oam, catalog management and space management)
- Software Engineering (e.g., build/deploy of Mainframe Software Stack using SMP/E and zOSMF, and automated repeatable testing suite using Ansible)
- Performance Engineering (e.g., managing workloads using WLM and system performance using CPM/RMF/SMF)
- Open Technology (e.g., exploiting Linux on Z, such as z/CX on z/OS and z/Linux on z/VM, for edge processing components like web servers and API gateways of core applications running on mainframe and off-host servers for mainframe equipment/software products)
Starting 2023, in addition to our existing Service Sustainability (now also known as License To Operate) programme covering mainly hardware and software evergreening projects for IBM Z Core Technology, there has been an increasing number of Enterprise Infrastructure programmes emerged, all requiring the collaboration of product areas described above to deliver the desired programme outcomes such as Production Like Environment (PLE), Processor Double Failure, Disk Double Failure and Tertiary Vault Modernisation.
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.
