We can consider interim options for this position, if this is preferred please fill out day rate in application.
Role Summary
We’re hiring SRE/Platform engineers with an automation bias to help build Era4’s operations capability from the ground up. You’ll turn runbooks, alerts and operational workflows into safe, auditable automation and internal tooling that improves reliability across our AI infrastructure and datacentre platform.
This is a Platform / SRE role with software engineering, not an AI model-building role. You’ll work closely with operations, platform and engineering teams to reduce manual toil, improve alert quality, and speed up incident response.
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.
