Position Description
At CGI, we secure the cloud environments that power critical national and commercial services, helping organisations operate with confidence in an evolving threat landscape. As a Cloud Security Practitioner, you will architect and implement secure‑by‑design cloud solutions across AWS, Azure and GCP, embedding identity, encryption and observability at the core. We combine deep technical expertise with a culture of accountability and collaboration, enabling you to shape security standards, influence platform design and deliver measurable risk reduction. Here, your insight drives resilient architectures, your innovation strengthens defences, and your growth is supported as you help us protect high‑value digital ecosystems.
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.
Due to the secure nature of the programme, you will need to hold UK Security Clearance or be eligible to go through this clearance. This is a hybrid position.
