Overview

We’re looking for a proactive and detail-oriented Systems Support Engineer to join our technical team. This role is primarily focused on providing day-to-day support across Microsoft applications (including Office 365, Azure AD and Exchange Online), Zoho applications with an emphasis on Zoho CRM, and general hardware related issues. You’ll be a key point of contact for troubleshooting, system queries, and supporting smooth day-to-day operations across the business.

While your core focus will be on Microsoft and Zoho platforms, experience with other CRMs (e.g., Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, HubSpot) is also valued, as it helps build broader context for the role. This position is ideal for someone who enjoys varied technical work and wants to develop further in both support and systems configuration, this role will also provide the opportunity to gain exposure to low-code scripting (Deluge) and automation opportunities for those interested in expanding into light development work.

The Systems Support Engineer will be an integral part of a highly efficient and respected technical team working alongside Machine Learning expertise, experienced software developers and solution architects. The ability to communicate and work effectively within a team is essential, as such the ideal candidate should be confident, engaging and personable.

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.
