Position Description
At CGI, you’ll play a vital role in delivering secure, mission-critical solutions that protect and enable our clients’ most important operations. In this role, your work will directly shape how complex applications are deployed, tested, and evolved within a modern containerised environment, helping to reduce risk and accelerate delivery on a high-profile defence programme. You’ll join a collaborative team where your ideas are valued, your ownership drives real outcomes, and you’re supported to innovate, grow, and make a tangible impact through high-quality engineering and shared success.
CGI was recognised in the Sunday Times Best Places to Work List 2025 and has been named a UK ‘Best Employer’ by the Financial Times. We offer a competitive salary, excellent pension, private healthcare, plus a share scheme (3.5% + 3.5% matching) which makes you a CGI Partner not just an employee. We are committed to inclusivity, building a genuinely diverse community of tech talent and inspiring everyone to pursue careers in our sector, including our Armed Forces, and are proud to hold a Gold Award in recognition of our support of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant.
