Senior Solutions / Cloud Architect - Contract - GCP, Python, CI/CD, Architecture

Oliver Bernard are currently working with an established InsurTech client of ours, based out of London, who are looking to take on a Senior Solutions / Cloud Architect to take ownership over a project focused on the build of an entire new platform across the business.

The incoming profile will need to be a seasoned contractor, and have a wealth of experience designing, building, and operating modern event-driven platforms (specifically GCP from a Cloud perspective), and be able to partner with engineering teams to drive the build out of this platform.

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 — 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 — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
