About This Opportunity

We’re looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to join our Colleague Channels Platform team.

In this role, you’ll help build the automation, tools and engineering standards that enable teams to deliver software more quickly, safely and reliably.

Our team supports colleagues across Branch, Contact Centres and Operations. We create shared platforms and tools that make it easier for engineering teams across the Group to do their best work.

Within our Cloud team, we focus on automation, CI/CD, security and simple, reusable cloud patterns. We aim to make it easy for teams to build and run services on GCP and OpenShift in a secure, resilient and compliant way.

This is a hands-on role where you’ll combine technical expertise with collaboration and coaching to help raise engineering standards across multiple teams.

It’s a great opportunity to shape how software is delivered across the organisation while continuing to develop your own skills in a supportive environment.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Design and improve CI/CD pipelines and release automation to support reliable delivery
  • Promote automation-first ways of working to reduce manual effort and increase consistency
  • Develop and share reusable Kubernetes and platform patterns
  • Help define secure, repeatable cloud provisioning approaches aligned to central standards
  • Work closely with feature teams, offering hands-on support, coaching and guidance
  • Contribute to improving engineering standards through collaboration, reviews and shared learning

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.

  • Experience with observability or monitoring tools (e.g. Dynatrace, Prometheus, Splunk or similar)

It would be helpful if you also have experience in

  • Application development or testing environments (e.g. Java, Node.js, React, automated testing)
  • Code quality, security scanning or vulnerability management
