Job Description

We are looking for an experienced Platform Engineer to design, build, and support scalable, secure, and highly available platform infrastructure. The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in API gateways, Kubernetes, Go development, cloud-native technologies, and observability.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and manage Envoy Proxy and Kong API Gateway infrastructure.
  • Develop Go (Golang) based platform services, gRPC APIs, and Kubernetes controllers.
  • Deploy and manage applications using Kubernetes, Helm, ArgoCD, and GitOps.
  • Implement API security using OAuth2, OIDC, mTLS, and Open Policy Agent (OPA/Rego).
  • Build and maintain observability solutions using OpenTelemetry, Dynatrace, and Splunk.
  • Automate WAF and infrastructure configurations across cloud environments.
  • Collaborate with development teams to onboard applications and migrate workloads.
  • Participate in incident response, production support, and continuous platform improvements.
  • Follow engineering best practices including code reviews, testing, automation, and documentation.

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.
