About Our Client
Our client builds a data platform used by financial services firms to process and act on time sensitive market information at speed. They've recently secured significant new investment to accelerate growth, and engineering is scaling across the board.
About the Role
We're looking for a Senior Cloud Platform Engineer to join a small, experienced engineering team and take genuine ownership across their AWS platform.
This is first and foremost a hands on engineering role. You'll work across AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, GitOps and CI/CD, helping build, operate and improve the infrastructure behind a modern financial technology platform.
Security is also an important part of the position. You won't need to be a dedicated Security Engineer or come with deep governance and compliance experience, but you should understand how to build and operate secure cloud infrastructure and be comfortable taking ownership of security related engineering work.
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 work closely with both the Platform Engineer and CISO, helping translate security requirements into practical technical solutions across the platform.
Key Responsibilities
- Owning and improving production infrastructure across AWS
- Building and operating Kubernetes environments, with a strong understanding of how to run and secure them in production

- Working across cloud security hardening, IAM, least privilege and access controls
- Implementing security improvements across CI/CD pipelines, Git repositories, containers and cloud infrastructure
- Working with Wiz and the wider team to understand cloud security findings and turn them into practical remediation
- Writing scripts and tooling in Python, Go or similar to automate infrastructure, operational and security processes
- Working closely with engineering and security to solve problems across traditional team boundaries
- Helping shape platform engineering practices as the business and engineering organisation continue to scale
