About the company
A small, founder-led application monitoring platform with a highly capable engineering team. Profitable for years before a recent investment from a private equity firm, and still debt-free.
The role
This company runs its own bare-metal infrastructure, leased directly from data centre providers rather than sitting on a major public cloud, giving tighter control over performance and keeping hosting costs down. The platform has run stably for years, built largely by the current SRE, and we're now looking for a Lead SRE to work alongside him, take on more ownership, and help modernise it from here, including supporting a planned US expansion.
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.
This is a hands-on technical lead role, not people management. You'll join the on-call rotation and be trusted to own infrastructure end to end.
What you'll be doing
- Owning and evolving a bare-metal, data-centre-based infrastructure estate
- Working with Kafka and Redis as part of the core stack
- Driving infrastructure-as-code, deployment and provisioning improvements
- Acting as a senior technical voice and mentor in a small, high-calibre team
- Supporting a new US hosting region and a longer-term move towards more decomposed, containerised deployments
What we're looking for
- Strong traditional infrastructure background: Linux, networking, DNS, bare-metal and data-centre environments
- Solid infrastructure-as-code experience; Ansible preferred, but strong Terraform or similar is welcome if you can pick up Ansible quickly
- Comfortable outside a purely cloud-native stack
- Prior SRE, platform or infrastructure leadership experience
- A team player first, technical expert second
