This isn't a hands-off architecture role; this isn't a people-manager title with a technical veneer. This is a senior technical leader who still gets their hands dirty; shaping cloud strategy with a client's CTO one day, working alongside the engineering team the next. If that's how you operate, read on.
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.
You'll bring:
- Expert AWS platform engineering: designing, building and operating at scale in complex enterprise environments. Not just familiarity, genuine mastery
- Multi-cloud: AWS primary, Azure and GCP alongside it
- Terraform / IaC: you write the standards others follow, not the other way around
- Kubernetes / EKS: in-depth, hands-on, production-scale. You know it inside out
- CI/CD and DevOps: you set the bar across the team and across client engagements
- Enterprise client engagement: you've owned relationships, shaped strategy, and delivered outcomes at senior level in a consultancy environment
- Team leadership and mentoring: you grow engineers, not just manage them
- Pre-sales and bid work: you've contributed to proposals and you understand the commercial side of consultancy delivery
