Senior Platform Engineer
Berkshire | 1-2x/week onsite
Up to £75,000 + Benefits
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys getting underneath complex technical problems and working across the systems and infrastructure that keep modern services running.
Rather than being focused on one narrow area, you'll work across a varied technical environment, combining hands-on engineering, troubleshooting, automation and continuous improvement.
The Role
You'll join an established engineering team responsible for the reliability, performance and ongoing development of the company's core technology environment.
Your work will include a mixture of day-to-day engineering, project work and longer-term improvements.
Depending on the challenge, you could be:
- Building, maintaining and improving production systems
- Investigating complex performance or reliability issues
- Working across physical, virtual and hosted infrastructure
- Automating repetitive engineering and operational tasks
- Troubleshooting connectivity and systems-level problems
- Supporting infrastructure changes and technical projects
- Improving internal engineering tools and processes
- Identifying recurring issues and developing permanent solutions
- Collaborating with engineers across different technical disciplines
- Sharing knowledge and helping develop engineering capability within the team
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.
It's deliberately a broad role. You'll have the opportunity to understand how the wider environment fits together and take ownership of problems from investigation through to resolution.
What We're Looking For
You'll have a strong background in systems or infrastructure engineering within production environments.
Your experience is likely to include several of the following:
- Linux or Unix-based systems
- Infrastructure engineering
- Server and virtualised environments
- Scripting or automation
- Networking fundamentals
- Cloud or hosted infrastructure
- Infrastructure tooling
- Monitoring and troubleshooting
- Supporting business-critical production environments
We're not looking for someone who can simply tick every technology off a checklist.
What's more important is your ability to understand complex systems, diagnose difficult problems and make good engineering decisions.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Why Consider It?
This is an opportunity to join a growing business where strong infrastructure and systems engineering is still genuinely valued.
You'll have the autonomy to improve things rather than simply maintain them, while remaining hands-on with interesting technical challenges.
There's also plenty of variety. If you enjoy understanding how systems work beneath the surface, solving problems that don't always have an obvious answer and leaving an environment better than you found it, you'll have plenty to get involved with.
