The Role
A UK technology business building AI systems for regulated and security-sensitive environments is looking for a Cloud Engineer to join a new data platform programme.
This is a hands-on GCP contract role, with strong experience across Google Cloud, GKE/Kubernetes and Terraform essential. Experience working within air-gapped, restricted or disconnected environments is also highly desirable.
You’ll be responsible for building and operating secure cloud infrastructure across distributed and restricted environments.
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.
