Job description

At CGI, we help clients modernise complex technology estates with the insight and confidence needed to deliver change successfully. As a Technical Architect, working on one of our flagship accounts, on an application upgrade programme, you’ll create the reliable technical foundations that enable informed architecture decisions and successful application upgrades. You’ll take ownership of understanding existing application environments, rebuilding incomplete designs and establishing accurate technical baselines across the estate. Working closely with Solution Architects, Technical Leads and subject matter experts, you’ll have the opportunity to solve complex technical challenges and improve how architectural knowledge is captured and used. You’ll be supported by an experienced, collaborative team while having the autonomy to strengthen technical quality, reduce delivery risk and make a tangible contribution to a major transformation programme.

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.

Join us and you’ll be part of an open, friendly community of experts. We’ll train and support you in taking your career wherever you want it to go.

This is a hybrid position but there is an expectation of working at CGI and our Client’s offices in Glasgow for 3 days a week.
