Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
About you
You'll have experience building and supporting cloud-native platforms and be comfortable working with Kubernetes, Terraform and modern DevOps practices. You'll ideally have commercial experience with GCP.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You'll also bring experience with Go or Python, a strong understanding of distributed systems and microservices, and enjoy automating infrastructure wherever possible.
Any experience with observability tooling, AI or machine learning infrastructure, or multi-region cloud deployments would be a bonus, but isn't essential.
If you're looking for a role where you can make a genuine impact, work with modern technologies and help shape the future of a growing engineering platform, we'd love to hear from you.
