IT Software Development Student Placement
Red Bull Advanced Services have an exciting opportunity for an undergraduate to join our IT Software Development team based in Milton Keynes. You will be a valued member of the team where you will help develop, maintain and support our internal systems across our Chassis and Powertrains functions as well as developing internal tools to help optimise the working practices of the IT Software Development team. This placement will provide you with an amazing opportunity to understand how a software development team supports the business demands to achieve its goals.
You’ll need to be highly analytical with excellent problem-solving skills, particularly in the application of these skills within the field of software development. The ability to communicate effectively is a pre-requisite, as you’ll be dealing with a variety of people at different levels across the business. The role will be technically hands-on, with a strong culture of doing what needs to be done. Project work is a key part of this role, and you will be expected to work both autonomously and as part of a team. In return you will gain experience in a range of services and technologies. Candidates should be studying a Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computing or Information Systems related degree.
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.
