Platform Engineer | C#/.NET, AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform | 20+ Year Profitable Trading Tech Firm
Salary
Competitive base plus bonus
Location
Hertfordshire, hybrid (3 days in the office for the first 6 months, then 2)
About the Role
I'm working with a long-established, consistently profitable online trading business that's adding a Platform Engineer to its three-person platform team. You'll run the platform behind their trading products, covering AWS, Kubernetes (K8s) and Terraform for 400+ C# microservices, and build the tools their 30 or so software engineers use to build, test and deploy.
The platform team are software engineers first and write their own C# services for the developers. You'll need a software engineering background, with the cloud and infrastructure work built on top of it.
The office is in Hertfordshire, an easy train from central London and close to the M1, A1(M) and M25. Office days are Tuesday and Wednesday, plus Thursday for your first six months.
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 They're Looking For (Non-Negotiables)
- Software engineering: commercial experience as a developer, ideally C#/.NET
- Cloud: ideally AWS
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC): ideally Terraform
- AI tools: hands-on use, and keen to push them further
- Communication: you'll support around 30 engineers day to day
What You'll Work With
- Kubernetes, Linux and Docker
- Kafka
- Redis/Valkey
- HAProxy and Consul
- Grafana and OpenSearch
- Azure DevOps Pipelines and Argo CD
- Node.js and TypeScript
Nice to Haves
- Python: it comes up in the technical test
- Observability: dashboards and alerting other teams rely on
- Security: principles and best practice in cloud environments
Why Join / Projects
- You'll keep writing code, including C# services that handle branch processing and release handoffs for the dev teams.
- The platform team has more autonomy than any other IT team there. You'll set requirements, decide how to meet them and choose what to tackle next.
- Work splits roughly 50/50 between support and projects, from app work to the yearly Kubernetes upgrade, and the team moves on quickly when something more useful comes up.
- AI is part of the job. They want people who spot where it helps and bring it into how the team works, and you'll use Claude Code in the final interview.
- They release several times a day, so you'll work either 7:30 to 4:00 or 9:00 to 5:30, shared around the team.
