We're working with a rapidly growing technology business that's investing heavily in its engineering platform and cloud capabilities. They're looking for a Senior DevOps / Platform Engineer to help build the infrastructure, automation, and tooling that enables development teams to deliver software faster, more reliably, and at scale.
If you enjoy Kubernetes, automation, Infrastructure as Code, and solving complex engineering challenges, this is an opportunity to influence how an engineering organization operates for years to come.

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.
