You’ll collaborate with skilled professionals who take ownership of their work, share ideas freely, and are empowered to create solutions that make a lasting difference.

This is an opportunity to contribute to a variety of major national UK Government programmes where innovation, teamwork, and continuous learning come together to deliver meaningful results for our clients and UK helping improve UK citizens lives.

Due to the secure nature of our work programmes, you will need to hold UK Security Clearance or be eligible to go through this clearance. These roles will be predominantly hybrid with some work based in UK CGI or client offices depending on the specific programme. Travel away from base office will be expensed.

You should have experience developing large-scale enterprise applications using Java and microservices frameworks, alongside a solid understanding of secure, scalable system design. You’ll bring an analytical mindset, collaborative approach and a drive to deliver high-quality code that meets user and business needs. We are looking for candidates who have experience of either back end, front end or, ideally, full stack software and application development and engineering.

• Proven experience as a Java Developer or Senior Software Engineer
• Strong proficiency in Java, Spring Boot, and RESTful API development

Together, as owners, let’s turn meaningful insights into action. Life at CGI is rooted in ownership, teamwork, respect and belonging. Here, you’ll reach your full potential because you are invited to be an owner from day 1 as we work together to bring our Dream to life. That’s why we call ourselves CGI Partners rather than employees. We benefit from our collective success and actively shape our company’s strategy and direction.

Your work creates value. You’ll develop innovative solutions and build relationships with teammates and clients while accessing global capabilities to scale your ideas, embrace new opportunities, and benefit from expansive industry and technology expertise.

You’ll shape your career by joining a company built to grow and last. You’ll be supported by leaders who care about your health and well-being and provide you with opportunities to deepen your skills and broaden your horizons.
