Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Software Engineer Jobs at CBRE Jobs
Align your resume to PropTech systems
CBRE's engineering teams build and maintain platforms for property management, lease administration, and facilities data. Highlight experience with enterprise SaaS, cloud infrastructure, or data pipelines to signal direct relevance before your application even reaches a recruiter.
Confirm sponsorship eligibility before interviewing
CBRE sponsors multiple visa types for Software Engineers, but not every role or team is approved for sponsorship. Ask your recruiter directly during the first call whether the specific position has budget and approval to file, not just whether CBRE sponsors in general.
Time your OPT application around CBRE's hiring cycles
CBRE recruits Software Engineers year-round, but large enterprise hiring often clusters around Q1 and Q3. If you're on F-1 OPT, factor in the 90-day unemployment limit and plan your application timeline so an offer and start date land well within your authorized period.
Prepare credentials for a specialty occupation case
H-1B approval for Software Engineer roles requires demonstrating the position is a specialty occupation. Gather transcripts, degree equivalency evaluations if your credential is from outside the U.S., and any documentation showing your degree field directly maps to the engineering work CBRE is hiring for.
Use Migrate Mate to filter open Software Engineer roles at CBRE
Not all posted roles at CBRE are open to sponsorship. Use Migrate Mate to browse Software Engineer positions at CBRE that are actively seeking sponsored candidates, so you apply where your visa situation is already accounted for.
Understand the LCA before your offer is finalized
Before CBRE can file your H-1B petition with USCIS, the company must obtain a certified Labor Condition Application from the DOL confirming your offered wage meets prevailing wage requirements for the role location. Delays at this stage can affect your start date, so ask your HR contact about their LCA timeline early.

Find Software Engineer at CBRE JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does CBRE sponsor H-1B visas for Software Engineers?
Yes, CBRE sponsors H-1B visas for Software Engineer roles. The company has an established process for filing H-1B petitions, including handling the required Labor Condition Application through the DOL. Sponsorship availability can vary by team and role, so confirm with the recruiter whether the specific position you're pursuing is approved for sponsorship before advancing through interviews.
How do I apply for Software Engineer jobs at CBRE?
You can search and apply for Software Engineer positions through CBRE's careers site or through Migrate Mate, which filters for roles open to visa sponsorship. When applying, tailor your materials to reflect experience with enterprise software, data platforms, or real estate technology systems, which align closely with what CBRE's engineering teams build and maintain.
Which visa types does CBRE commonly use for Software Engineer hires?
CBRE sponsors several visa categories for Software Engineers, including H-1B, H-1B1, TN for Canadian and Mexican nationals, F-1 OPT and CPT for current students, J-1 for exchange visitors, and employment-based Green Card pathways including EB-2 and EB-3. The right category depends on your nationality, degree, and where you are in your immigration journey.
What qualifications does CBRE expect for Software Engineer roles?
Most Software Engineer roles at CBRE require a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, software engineering, or a closely related field. For H-1B purposes, this degree requirement is what establishes the role as a specialty occupation under USCIS standards. Practically, CBRE's engineering work spans cloud platforms, enterprise integrations, and property technology products, so demonstrated experience in those areas strengthens your candidacy beyond the degree alone.
How do I navigate the visa filing timeline after receiving an offer from CBRE?
Once CBRE extends an offer, the sponsorship process starts with the company filing a Labor Condition Application with the DOL, which typically takes one to two weeks when filed electronically. The H-1B petition then goes to USCIS. If you need to start quickly and are transitioning from OPT or another status, discuss cap-gap protections or premium processing options with CBRE's immigration team early to avoid gaps in work authorization.
