At CGI, you will help shape a critical transformation within one of our UK Government clients by contributing to the delivery of a modern, user‑centred replacement for a legacy national application. As a Front‑End Developer, you will play a key role in building scalable, accessible and intuitive digital services that make a tangible difference for citizens and justice professionals.

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.

You will collaborate daily with designers, architects, developers and testers, shaping technical decisions and ensuring the front end supports a robust, scalable and maintainable solution. You will have opportunities to share ideas, refine approaches and contribute to a strong engineering culture that values ownership, creativity and collaboration.

• Build scalable Angular applications that align with GDS standards.
• Work closely with UX, service design and back‑end engineering teams.
• Support component testing, accessibility checks and quality assurance activities.
