Platform Engineer
Our Mission
At Omnea, we’re reinventing how enterprise businesses operate, starting with the most painful parts: procurement – where a single purchase can drag on for months, trigger 50+ emails, and pull in Finance, Legal, Security, and IT just to get something approved.
We’ve raised $75M from Khosla Ventures, Insight Partners, and Accel to change that. Our AI-native platform connects every person, step, and system so buying is fast, safe, and efficient – one place to request, automated approvals and renewals, real-time supplier risk, and complete spend visibility.
The opportunity is massive. Every enterprise on the planet has this problem and nobody has solved it. We’ve 10x’d ARR to double-digit millions in 18 months and are trusted by global enterprises like Spotify, MongoDB, Monzo, and Albertsons. We’re now the 4th fastest growing startup in Europe.
Our team previously scaled Tessian (cybersecurity tech, backed by Sequoia, Balderton, Accel, acquired post-Series C), and our team includes ex-founders and operators who’ve grown unicorns, shipped world-class products, and executed at the highest levels. You’ll work alongside leaders like Ben, Abs, Sabrina, and Rebe.

Why We Need a Platform Engineer Now
Omnea deploys multiple times a day, serves enterprise customers who expect rock-solid reliability, and is scaling 10x. Our platform team owns the infrastructure, tooling, and developer experience that underpins all of this. We're adding a hands-on Platform Engineer to the team to improve our CI/CD, scale our serverless infrastructure, strengthen observability, and make every product engineer more effective.
What We're Looking For
We're hiring at both:
- Level 3 (Senior)
- Level 4 (Lead)
For calibration, candidates typically bring 5+ years of platform engineering experience in high-growth, cloud-native SaaS environments, but we care more about impact than years.
You'll join an experienced platform team and contribute across the full stack, from:
- Infrastructure-as-code
- Deployment pipelines
- Developer tooling
- Occasionally product features
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.
What You'll Do
-
Scale our infrastructure:
- Design and evolve our AWS serverless architecture (including Lambda, DynamoDB, Aurora, EventBridge) for 10x growth, multi-region HA, and data residency requirements.
-
Own CI/CD and deployment:
- Build and improve our deployment pipelines (GitHub Actions)
- Infrastructure-as-code (Pulumi)
- Release tooling so product teams can ship faster and safer.
-
Own observability:
- Build out monitoring, alerting, and debugging across the stack using Datadog.
- When something breaks, we should know before our customers do.
-
Improve developer experience:
- Build internal tooling
- Automate toil
- Remove friction so engineers spend more time shipping product and less time fighting infrastructure.
-
Code and build:
- Contribute production-ready TypeScript across infrastructure and product features
- Raise the bar through solid patterns, libraries, and code reviews.
What You Can Expect
- A strong team: You’ll join a platform team of senior and staff engineers who set a high bar and will push you to do your best work.
- Modern, cloud-native stack: Everything serverless and IaC-driven (AWS, Pulumi, TypeScript end-to-end).
- Continuous delivery: We deploy multiple times a day. Your work determines how fast and safely the whole engineering org ships.
- Scalability challenges: As we 10x revenue, you’ll evolve infrastructure for:
- Multi-region high availability (HA)
- Data residency
- Performance at scale
- Customer impact: The reliability and speed you build is what lets us win and keep enterprise accounts.
- Massive ownership: You own problems end-to-end, from brainstorming through to production.
- Collaboration & autonomy:
- Plenty of heads-down technical work
- Close partnership with product engineers and engineering leadership
