The Edge Control team accelerates builders by centralising undifferentiated effort, providing a suite of capabilities to safely control and configure Prime Video clients. We ensure client interactions with Prime Video's global infrastructure are reliable, cost-efficient, measurable, and fast. Our services enable safe management and release of client configurations, delivery of push notifications, and power the end-to-end observability and intelligent client-driven traffic routing with automated failover capabilities. We accelerate teams across Prime Video in deploying native AI solutions through providing a remote platform to rapidly and reliably host remote MCP tools.
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

- Strong understanding of networking fundamentals (DNS, HTTP/TLS, load balancing)
- Experience operating and maintaining production software, including monitoring, alarming, and incident response
