Solutions Architect
The engagement
We're building out a team to work with a client on a major data and cloud migration for their marketplace platform.
You'll be the Solutions Architect on it: owning the target-state data architecture on AWS, and the plan to get there without disrupting a live platform running at serious volume.
That means owning the migration end to end: how the data moves, in what order, how it's cleaned and reconciled along the way, and how you cut over with as little downtime as possible.
The platform
This is a genuinely large-scale marketplace. Very few platforms handle a product catalogue or transaction volume at this level.
The roadmap includes agentic AI workflows built into the platform, retail media integrated directly into the marketplace, and infrastructure work targeting cost and performance at high volume.
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.
A lot of this is being attempted at volumes that have rarely been tested in a marketplace before, so the work leans research-led rather than routine.
Who this suits
You work comfortably across data and cloud, and you've owned migration planning start to finish before.
You can hold the detail of dependency mapping and cutover sequencing while keeping the wider architecture in view.
You've done this on AWS, at scale, on systems that can't afford much downtime.
What we need
The essentials:
- A strong blend of data and cloud migration experience
- Hands-on experience designing target-state data architecture on AWS
- Data migration planning: dependency mapping, data cleansing, reconciliation, cutover, rollback, and low-downtime migration

Location and basis
Contract, outside IR35. Starting as soon as possible.
While there's no set number of days you're required on site, there will be times when the client needs the team together in person for important meetings, workshops, and key moments. When that's the case, we'd expect you to attend.
To make that work, you'll need to be based within 50 miles of one of our offices in Edinburgh, Newcastle, Leeds, Manchester, or London.
