Student Placement Programme (Belfast)
At the heart of our international talent strategy is our Placement Program in Belfast, an internship program we created when we opened our doors in 2014. Our placement students spend a full year working as a member of one of our teams, gaining valuable experience working on real projects. The majority of our placement opportunities are within our Engineering teams, but we also offer roles within UX, Service Desk, and IT. Aside from the hands-on learning placements gain from their managers, mentors, and teammates, the program allows the opportunity to network with peers & leaders, get direct manager feedback, and ultimately the possibility of full time employment upon graduation.
Sales Development Representative (SDR) Program
The SDR program at Rapid7 aims to provide people early in their careers - or changing career paths - the opportunity to learn from the best and grow their selling skills. As a valued member of our sales team, you’ll develop the skills to uncover opportunities with prospects and customers and maximize opportunity from inbound marketing leads and outbound efforts. Many of our past SDRs have progressed into roles as Account Executives as they continue to build their career at Rapid7. If you’re a self-starter, team player, and thrive in a fast-paced environment, Rapid7’s SDR Program is the place for you.
Apprentice Programme (Belfast)
The Apprentice Program is a way for Rapid7 to diversify its technical pipeline with candidates who have pursued a different career path and are looking to move into the cybersecurity field. Participants have the opportunity to train and get hands-on experience while going to school 1 day a week at a local university. The majority of the roles in the Apprentice Program fall within our Customer Support organization.
North America Internship Program
Rapid7’s Internship Program provides an entry point for students to apply what they are learning in school and contribute to real world projects.

The internship program provides students with a pathway to a successful career in their chosen field, with opportunities for development, learning, and collaboration.
