π¦ Leading Quantitative Trading Firm | π London (Hybrid/Remote)
What does it take to keep a trading platform bulletproof at scale? π§
My client - one of the world's leading quantitative trading firms - is hiring a Platform Engineer / Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to design, build, and operate the infrastructure behind mission-critical trading systems. This is a role with real technical ownership, working on problems most engineers only read about.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Design, build, and maintain scalable platform infrastructure
- Develop and optimize CI/CD pipelines to accelerate delivery
- Strengthen observability through monitoring, logging, tracing, and alerting
- Build automation and self-service tooling that engineers actually want to use
- Support containerized workloads and orchestration across large-scale environments
- Drive reliability, performance, and scalability improvements across distributed systems and middleware
Reasons to use Rodeo
Iβm in my final year doing Economics and I donβt know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer β it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) donβt need a masters. Letβs look at the ones youβd be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet β that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
