πŸš€ Platform Engineer / SRE β€” Up to Β£250,000 + Bonus

🏦 Leading Quantitative Trading Firm | πŸ“ London (Hybrid/Remote)

What does it take to keep a trading platform bulletproof at scale? πŸ”§

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

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t 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) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d 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.
