This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced DevOps Systems Administrator looking to take ownership of complex cloud projects and have autonomy with a role while working remotely.
This company is an established technology partner and managed service provider, specialising in unified communications and cloud contact centre solutions. They help public and private sector organisations modernise their digital infrastructure with a focus on improving customer experience and operational efficiency through system integration and digital transformation.
In this varied role you will offer extensive support to help architect hybrid cloud solutions. You will lead automation efforts, streamline infrastructure using modern tooling, and grow your leadership skills by mentoring others. Your input will directly influence the business direction as you tackle impactful infrastructure challenges.
The ideal candidate will have hands-on DevOps experience, specifically within AWS and Linux environments. You should be a confident scripter with a deep understanding of cloud security and networking, possessing the technical maturity to manage hybrid networks and respond to incidents with resilience.

Familiarity with virtualisation platforms like VMware or Proxmox is essential, as is the ability to build and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines.
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.
