We're supporting a major financial services organisation as they strengthen their UNIX engineering capability to support a large-scale vulnerability remediation programme.
This is a hands-on engineering role where you'll use your UNIX expertise to analyse vulnerabilities across a large enterprise estate and drive remediation activities.
Working as part of an experienced UNIX team, you'll be responsible for understanding vulnerabilities across Linux, middleware and database platforms, assessing the required remediation and working with engineering teams to resolve them.
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.
What you'll be doing
- Analyse vulnerability data across a large UNIX/Linux estate.
- Assess vulnerabilities affecting Linux, Oracle, WebLogic and Tivoli environments.
- Understand remediation requirements rather than simply passing work to other technical teams.
- Prioritise remediation based on risk and business impact.
- Work closely with infrastructure and engineering teams to reduce security risk.
- Support wider UNIX engineering activities when required.
