Senior Site Reliability Engineer - Elite Hedge Fund - London - Up to £120k Base + Bonus

I’m working with a highly regarded Hedge Fund in London that’s looking to add a Senior Site Reliability Engineer to a small, genuinely technical engineering team.

This is a role for someone who enjoys ownership, autonomy, and solving difficult infrastructure problems - rather than simply keeping the lights on.

You’ll have a major influence on the reliability and scalability of the firm's platform, working across AWS/GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform, and automation while partnering closely with software engineers.

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.
