Your new company
You'll be joining a global financial services organisation currently investing heavily in cloud transformation, platform engineering and DevOps capability. With major programmes underway across cloud infrastructure and cyber remediation, this is an opportunity to join a high-performing engineering team delivering modern, cloud-native solutions at scale.
Your new role
As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you'll play a key role in building and maintaining a modern AWS platform, supporting critical cloud infrastructure and driving DevOps best practice across the engineering function. You'll work closely with developers and platform teams to automate deployments, improve resilience, enhance observability and deliver secure, scalable cloud environments.
This is a hands-on role focused on infrastructure, Kubernetes, automation and cloud engineering rather than software development.
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.
