Software Engineer (C# / Python) – Platform & Observability Focus
Location: London (Hybrid) – Hub Model Type: Permanent
We’re looking for a Software Engineer with a strong platform engineering mindset, ideally with experience close to observability, shared tooling, or developer infrastructure.
This is a cross-platform engineering role focused on building shared engineering patterns, SDKs, and reusable libraries across multiple teams—not delivering single-product features.
Key Focus of the Role
- Build and maintain SDKs, libraries, and shared engineering components
- Develop cross-team platform solutions and engineering standards
- Contribute to observability tooling and instrumentation (OpenTelemetry exposure required)
- Improve engineering consistency through reusable patterns and automation
- Support distributed systems and backend engineering initiatives
- Work across C# and Python environments
- Collaborate with engineers to enhance reliability, telemetry, and system insight
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.
Requirements
- Strong Software Engineering background in C# and/or Python
- Experience building SDKs, libraries, or internal developer tooling
- Familiarity with observability concepts (OpenTelemetry, tracing, metrics, and logging)
- Experience working in distributed systems or platform-style environments
- Strong understanding of software design patterns and reusable architecture
- Comfortable working across multiple teams and systems

Nice to Have
- Hands-on OpenTelemetry experience (beyond awareness)
- Experience with Kubernetes or cloud-native environments
- Exposure to DevOps, CI/CD, or automation tooling
- Background in platform engineering or SRE-style roles
Important Context
- Focus is on shared engineering infrastructure, not feature development
- Cross-platform role with a strong DevOps / backend engineering overlap
- Observability exposure is key—familiarity expected, but not necessarily prior expertise
