About the Role
I’m currently looking for: SRE Engineer (Java, Kotlin, Python, TypeScript, AWS, Kubernetes)
Our client is a high-growth, Series B technology company building a data-intensive platform used in a complex, real-time industry. They’ve recently secured significant investment and are now scaling their engineering teams as they tackle increasingly interesting problems around performance, reliability, and distributed systems.
This is a great opportunity for an engineer who enjoys building backend systems but also wants ownership of how those systems perform in production.
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.
Responsibilities
- Engineers have genuine autonomy here. You’ll be given problems rather than tickets, trusted to make technical decisions, and expected to own what you build from development through to production.
- You’ll be working across:
- Backend services supporting real-time and analytical data processing
- High-throughput, low-latency distributed systems
- AWS environments across EKS, ECS, and Lambda
- Kubernetes and containerised workloads
- Observability, monitoring, and alerting with Datadog
- Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD
- Streaming/data technologies including Kafka, Flink, Redis, and Redshift
- Production reliability, incident response, and reducing operational toil

Requirements
We’re looking for engineers with 4+ years’ experience who are strong in at least one of Java, Kotlin, Python, or TypeScript, with solid production experience across AWS and modern infrastructure.
- You don’t need to come from a traditional SRE background. This could suit a strong Backend / Software Engineer who enjoys infrastructure, reliability, and owning systems in production, or an SRE who still loves writing software.
If you enjoy distributed systems, backend engineering, and solving difficult production problems in a high-ownership environment, this one is worth a conversation.
