CGI UK Careers – Your mission found here

Position Description

CGI was recognised in the Sunday Times Best Places to Work List 2025 and has been named one of the World’s Best Employers by Forbes magazine. 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.

CGI’s Space, Defence and Intelligence business unit focuses on delivering contemporary and innovative technical solutions for government agencies’ most challenging problems. We work, build, and operate bespoke, technically complex, mission-critical systems to help our clients stay secure. We are currently looking for experienced software engineers to join our cross-functional team who, in partnership with our clients, will help define, guide and assure the delivery of integrated solutions. The role offers opportunities to work in a rewarding environment with strong learning and development support to keep pace with evolving technology. We foster a culture of innovation, collaboration and ownership; highly motivated self-starters thrive in our organisation. While we would like candidates to have all the skills, we will consider high-quality individuals who meet most criteria.

Due to the secure nature of the project, applicants must be solely a UK National (no dual nationality and no visa) and be prepared to undergo a security screening. A valid SC clearance is required or willingness to obtain one. The role is suitable for some office or home-based work but requires onsite attendance in Gloucester (or Manchester) due to secure system access.

We are looking for a Software Engineer to join our team for a cloud-based big data project. This role focuses on design, development and delivery of software implementations, configuration of software improvements, maintaining deployment environments, and supporting changes to live systems when needed.

• Java
