Platform Architect
Platform Architect (Kubernetes/OpenShift)
📍 Hybrid – Reading area (2 days per week on site) | 💰 Up to £110,000 + Bonus
About the Role
I'm recruiting for a senior Platform Architect to take ownership of the architecture and evolution of a large-scale enterprise Kubernetes platform supporting business-critical services.
This isn’t a hands-on engineering role—it’s an opportunity to define platform strategy, influence technical direction, and ensure the platform remains secure, resilient, and scalable as it continues to evolve.
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.
