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 we're looking for
- 1–5 years' experience within Site Reliability Engineering, Infrastructure Engineering, Platform Engineering, or a similar position.
- Demonstrable experience building and deploying production systems – candidates with purely support/debugging backgrounds will not be suitable.
- Strong hands-on Docker and Kubernetes experience.
- Programming experience with at least one of Python, Go, Java, or JavaScript.
- Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a closely related discipline from a highly ranked university.
- Experience working within complex, technically demanding production environments.
- Exposure to Terraform, Ansible, Infrastructure-as-Code, and/or CI/CD would be advantageous.
- Background within defence technology, cloud infrastructure, large-scale technology, or similarly complex engineering environments would be beneficial.
- Based within 30 minutes of the London site, or willing to relocate.
