We're partnered with a technology company building high-performance infrastructure for decentralized financial markets.
They're looking for a Senior Site Reliability Engineer to improve the reliability, observability and operational tooling behind a latency-sensitive production platform.
The role covers production infrastructure, monitoring and alerting, incident diagnosis, deployment workflows, infrastructure automation and developer tooling. There is also a strong Linux and systems element, particularly around networking, host performance and running high-performance services in production.
The platform is still relatively early, so there is plenty of scope to improve how things are operated, introduce better automation and help set the standards the wider engineering team works to.
Responsibilities
- Improve the reliability and operability of production systems.
- Build and improve monitoring, logging, tracing, dashboards and alerting.
- Improve incident diagnosis, root cause analysis and operational workflows.
- Build safer and more repeatable deployment and rollback processes.
- Automate repetitive operational and infrastructure work.
- Improve CI/CD pipelines and release processes.
- Develop internal tooling that helps engineers operate production systems more effectively.
- Improve the developer experience from local development through to production.
- Work with Linux systems, networking, host configuration and resource contention.
- Contribute to infrastructure security, access controls, secrets management and system hardening.
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

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.
The systems are latency-sensitive, so the role can extend into areas such as host-level tuning, kernel settings, CPU isolation and networking behaviour.

- Experience operating production infrastructure in cloud environments.
- Strong Linux systems knowledge and understanding of networking fundamentals.
- Experience with monitoring, observability and alerting.
- Strong troubleshooting and root cause analysis skills.
- Experience with CI/CD and infrastructure automation.
- AWS, Terraform or Ansible experience would be advantageous.
- Experience with high-performance, high-throughput or latency-sensitive systems would be particularly valuable.
- Comfortable taking ownership of problems and driving improvements independently.
