Test & Systems Engineer – Python / Linux
Oxford | Hybrid
£40,000 - £50,000 + Share Options
Do you enjoy getting to the bottom of difficult technical problems?
Have you used Python or Bash to automate testing, investigate bugs or improve engineering processes?
Looking for something more technical than a traditional support or manual QA role?
Our client is a growing Oxford-based technology business looking for a Test & Systems Engineer to join its engineering team.
You'll work across software testing, automation, systems troubleshooting, and releases, getting hands-on with Linux, Python, Docker, and connected systems.
Why This Role is Great
This is a role for someone who wants to test, investigate, and improve technology, rather than simply follow predefined test scripts.
You'll get to:
- Own software and systems testing, including regression, integration, and end-to-end testing.
- Automate with Python and Bash, making testing and technical processes faster and more reliable.
- Dig into complex bugs, using Linux, logs, and command-line tools to identify root causes.
- Work closely with developers, reproducing issues, and validating fixes.
- Get hands-on with Docker, Git, and CI/CD as part of testing and release workflows.
- Build broader systems knowledge, investigating issues across interconnected software and technology.
- Influence testing processes as the engineering team and product continue to develop.
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.
There is some interaction with users when complex issues arise, but this is an engineering-led position rather than a traditional support desk role.

Our client's wishlist includes:
- Good Python and/or Bash scripting skills
- Strong Linux / Ubuntu knowledge
- Experience with software testing and QA
- Exposure to Docker
- Familiarity with Git and CI/CD
- A methodical approach to debugging complex technical problems
