Position Overview
At CGI, you’ll help shape the future of secure, scalable digital platforms that power critical services across the UK. As a Platform Engineer, you will play a central role in strengthening high‑performance environments that enable agile delivery and continuous innovation initially for our major UK Government and Justice clients. You will take ownership of complex platform challenges, collaborate closely across multi‑disciplinary teams, and apply creative problem‑solving to drive automation, reliability, and resilience. Supported by a community of experts, you will contribute to modernising platforms that make a real impact while evolving your skills in an environment that values curiosity, initiative, and continuous growth.
Benefits and Perks
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.
Security and Travel
