At CGI, we are helping organisations turn the rapidly evolving potential of AI into practical, measurable business outcomes. As an AI Forward Deployed Engineer, you’ll work at the intersection of clients, software engineering and agentic AI—taking ownership of complex challenges and transforming ideas into prototypes, operational pilots and production-ready solutions. You’ll have the freedom to explore emerging OpenAI and Microsoft technologies, creatively applying them to real-world enterprise challenges while developing reusable approaches that create value across clients and sectors. Supported by CGI’s collaborative community of experts, you’ll work directly with clients, influence how AI solutions are shaped and deployed, and help define the next generation of AI-enabled services at CGI.
