About you:

You lead from the front, you mentor from experience, and you've delivered large, complex cloud programmes in client-facing consultancy environments.
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 across complex enterprise environments
- Multi-cloud awareness: AWS primary, Azure and GCP alongside it
- Terraform / IaC: mastery level, not just competency
- Kubernetes / EKS: in-depth, hands-on, production-scale
- CI/CD and DevOps: you set the standard, you don't just follow it
- Enterprise client engagement: you've managed relationships, defined strategy, and delivered outcomes at senior level
- Team leadership and mentoring: you build teams up, not just deliver through them
- Pre-sales and bid work: you've contributed to proposals and supported commercial conversations
