Senior Linux & Kubernetes Engineer with expertise in AI Tooling, Automation, Observability and CI/CD / GitLab / GitOps
Our client is one of the World's Elite Quant Hedge Fund Managers with large-scale, massively Distributed Systems, and ample opportunity for Engineering-at-Scale on huge big-ticket projects. They boast a highly lean and flat, non-hierarchical business, which has very little in the way of siloes - unlike many of their industry peers - and therefore engineers are fortunate enough to take ownership of projects and relationships end-to-end across the firm. This operating model relies on strong collaboration and communication skills.
This is a newly created Platform Infrastructure team, separated out of a Core Infrastructure function, and with a focus on Platform Engineering, Developer Tooling, DevOps, plus some Production Operational Support. The team collaborates heavily with diverse stakeholders - typically peer Technology teams (Data, Software, Infrastructure....), Quantitative Development, and business users in Quantitative Research.
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.
