You will work across a diverse technology landscape, collaborating closely with developers, testers, and platform specialists to diagnose and resolve complex technical challenges. This will include recreating tests, validating configurations, enhancing pipelines, and where possible automating key elements of the software development lifecycle to drive efficiency and reliability.
Your role will also involve ensuring the quality assurance of applications and their deployment into traditional IaC-driven environments such as Puppet-managed infrastructure and Kubernetes platforms. You will be an active participant in Kanban and/or Scrum events, helping to plan, estimate, and prioritise work as part of a high-performing cross-functional team.

to have all the skills we need, we would consider high quality individuals who meet most of the criteria

Individuals who do not currently hold clearance are still encouraged to apply and will be considered both for this position and for other suitable opportunities within CGI where appropriate.
This role is primarily based on a secure client site and requires attendance on site five days per week due to the sensitive nature of the work and the systems involved. While the position is predominantly site-based, there may be occasional flexibility where business needs and security constraints allow. Any such arrangements would be agreed in advance with the project team.
