We’re looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer with strong, hands-on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) experience to join a major cloud transformation programme.

This is a 12-month contract, with extensions considered likely, focused on migrating infrastructure from on-premise environments into GCP and building the cloud platforms, automation and infrastructure needed to support the transformation.

The role will initially require approximately 2–3 days per week onsite in Stockport, moving to predominantly remote working once established.

The role

You’ll join a cloud engineering team responsible for designing, building and automating new GCP infrastructure.

This is primarily a project and engineering role rather than BAU support, with operational responsibility handed over to TechOps once solutions are established.

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.

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 be working across:

  • Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
  • Kubernetes / GKE
  • Terraform / Infrastructure as Code
  • Linux
  • Cloud networking and security
  • Infrastructure automation
  • Bash / Python
  • Ansible
  • CI/CD

What we're looking for:

  • Strong, recent hands-on GCP experience is essential for this role.
  • We’re particularly interested in engineers who have worked directly on GCP infrastructure, cloud migrations or major GCP transformation programmes, rather than candidates whose cloud experience is primarily AWS or Azure.

You’ll also need strong experience with:

  • Kubernetes, ideally GKE
  • Terraform / Infrastructure as Code
  • Linux systems administration
  • Cloud infrastructure and networking
  • Automation and scripting

Experience with Ansible, AWS, CI/CD and cloud security would be useful but isn't essential.

If you’re a Senior DevOps Engineer with strong GCP, Kubernetes/GKE, Terraform and Linux experience and want a long-term contract focused on cloud migration and engineering, we’d like to hear from you.
