The RRS Group, and its affiliated entities (collectively, “RRS”) have provided real estate development and related services to investment-grade clients for decades. Our expertise encompasses site acquisition, architectural design, and development management for commercial office and industrial properties.

Through an integrated service model, RRS delivers comprehensive enterprise solutions that address every phase of the building lifecycle. In addition to technical excellence, we offer strategic consulting in marketing, financial planning, and facility management ensuring that every project achieves its highest potential in performance, value, and sustainability.

Commitment to Community

For over two decades, RRS has maintained a strong commitment to the communities we serve. This commitment is further advanced through the RRS Making Lives Better Foundation, which provides meaningful support and resources to individuals and families in need. The Foundation reflects our belief that corporate success carries a responsibility to contribute positively to society and to improve the quality of life in the regions where we operate.

Our Core Values

Caring | showing concern, empathy and compassion for others, ourselves, and our environment. Our care shows itself in our commitment to “safety first” in all we do. We encourage each other to be the best and hold each other accountable. We help those in need, contribute to the communities in which we work and develop creative ways to be responsible with our resources.

Integration | working unselfishly toward common goals across disciplines, teams, departments and regions. Our collective contributions are greater than our skills. We will be transparent and understand each other’s expertise to provide the most value when delivering our services to one another and our clients.

Innovation | developing new ideas and applying the solutions that differentiate us in valuable ways. We are not comfortable with the status quo. We remain accountable for continuous improvements in our results because we do not consider innovation an end in itself. We maintain an environment where we foster new ideas and encourage changes that help us improve.

If you share these core values, we have the right opportunity for you

As a Placement Software Engineer within The RRS Group, you will join a highly collaborative, innovative, and forward‑thinking team of technologists dedicated to building scalable software solutions used by customers and partners across the globe. Our engineering teams work at the intersection of technology, data, and product innovation, delivering reliable, high‑impact systems that support mission‑critical business operations.

At The RRS Group, we are deeply committed to investing in emerging talent. Our experienced engineers, architects, and product leaders will support and mentor you throughout your placement, ensuring you are continuously learning and developing both technically and professionally. We do not expect you to know everything from day one; instead, we value curiosity, adaptability, and problem‑solving ability over prior experience. You will be encouraged to ask questions, challenge ideas, and take ownership of meaningful work from the outset.

This is a 12‑month placement opportunity, running from Summer 2027 to Summer 2028. To be eligible, candidates must be in their penultimate year of university, with an expected graduation date of Summer 2028.

What you’ll do as a Placement Software Engineer at The RRS Group:

• Contribute to the design, development, and enhancement of the next generation of enterprise‑class software solutions supporting a global client base.


• Gain hands‑on exposure to the entire software development lifecycle, from requirements gathering and system design to implementation, testing, deployment, and post‑release support.


• Work across multiple product areas or engineering “lanes,” developing a strong appreciation for different architectures, technologies, and product complexities.


• Collaborate closely with experienced software engineers, product managers, quality engineers, and other cross‑functional partners to deliver high‑quality solutions.


• Leverage a modern engineering toolset, including cloud platforms, CI/CD pipelines, and a growing suite of Generative AI tools, enabling you to work faster, smarter, and more creatively.


• Operate within an Agile development environment, embracing best practices such as Test‑Driven Development (TDD), Continuous Integration, and Continuous Delivery.


• Participate in code reviews, design discussions, sprint planning, and retrospectives to strengthen both your technical skills and your understanding of professional software engineering practices.


• Continuously grow your technical knowledge through The RRS Group’s engineering community, internal learning resources, mentorship, and knowledge‑sharing sessions.

Our ideal candidate will bring:

• A strong academic background, having achieved or expecting to achieve a 2:1 or above in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a closely related discipline, with graduation no earlier than Summer 2029.


• Solid foundational coding skills in object‑oriented programming languages such as Java, C#, or C++.


• A genuine passion for software engineering and technology, demonstrated through personal projects, coursework, hackathons, open‑source contributions, or other work completed outside the core curriculum.


• A strong desire to learn, experiment with new tools and technologies, and continuously evolve as a software engineer.


• Analytical and problem‑solving skills, including the ability to understand technical requirements and translate them into effective, maintainable solutions.


• Clear and confident communication skills, with a willingness to collaborate in a close‑knit, agile, team‑oriented environment.


• Any prior exposure to software engineering through internships, placements, part‑time roles, coding competitions, research projects, or publications is considered a plus, but not required.

What can you expect from us:

• Opportunities to learn and develop every day through a wide range of programs.


• Internal digital platforms that promote self‑learning.


• Development programs according to Leadership skills.


• Specialized training according to the role.


• Learning experiences with internal and external providers.


• We love to celebrate success, which is why we have recognition programs for seniority, behavior, leadership, moments of life, among others.


• Financial wellness programs that will help you reach your goals in all stages of life.


• A flexibility program that will allow you to balance your personal and work life, adapting your working day to your lifestyle.


• And because your family is also important to us, they can also enjoy benefits such as our WellnessLine, thousands of Agreements and Discounts, Scholarship programs for your children, Aid Plans for different moments of life, among others.
