CGI was recognised in the Sunday Times Best Places to Work List 2025 and has been named one of the World’s Best Employers by Forbes magazine.

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.

CGI’s Space, Defence and Intelligence business unit focuses primarily on the delivery of contemporary and innovative technical solutions for government agencies tackling some of the most complex challenges. We work, build, and operate bespoke, technically complex, mission-critical systems which help our clients keep us all safe and secure.

We are currently looking for experienced Cloud Engineers to join our cross-functional team who, in partnership with our clients, will help define, guide, and assure the delivery of integrated solutions.

The role offers fantastic opportunities to work within an interesting and highly rewarding environment. We are heavily committed to developing our members and provide excellent learning and development opportunities to ensure your knowledge and skills keep pace with the evolving technology landscape.

We engender a culture of innovation, collaboration, and ownership; highly motivated self-starters thrive within our organisation. Although we would like candidates to have all the skills we need, we would consider high quality individuals who meet most of the criteria.

Due to the secure nature of this project, this role requires candidates to either already hold, or be eligible to obtain, a high level of UK Security Clearance. To meet the eligibility criteria, applicants must be sole British nationals, have been resident in the UK for the past 10 years, and must not have spent more than 28 consecutive days outside the UK within the last five years.

Individuals who do not currently hold clearance are still encouraged to apply and will be considered for this and other suitable opportunities within CGI.

This role is primarily based on a secure client site and requires attendance five days per week due to the sensitive nature of the work and systems involved. Limited flexibility may be available depending on business and security requirements.


Your Future Duties and Responsibilities

As a Cloud Engineer, you will take a hands-on approach to delivering sophisticated and secure software solutions. You will work closely with clients on-site to ensure availability, resilience, and performance of mission-critical systems.

You will bring strong understanding across both application and infrastructure layers and apply creative problem-solving to technical challenges.

We are looking for engineers who thrive in collaborative environments and have a strong commitment to engineering best practices. CGI provides continuous professional development to help you stay ahead in a rapidly evolving tech landscape.

Key responsibilities:

  • Design and implement high-quality technical solutions and system architectures
  • Use Infrastructure as Code and DevOps practices to develop, integrate, and support applications in cloud and secure on-prem environments
  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines and automated deployment processes
  • Deliver containerised applications using Kubernetes (OpenShift, EKS, AKS, GKE, etc.)
  • Support testing processes including unit, integration, and system testing
  • Troubleshoot complex issues across development and deployment environments
  • Collaborate with software developers, infrastructure engineers, and stakeholders
  • Mentor junior team members and contribute to a culture of technical excellence

Required Qualifications to Be Successful in This Role

  • Strong knowledge of public cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, etc.)
  • Hands-on experience with Kubernetes and container orchestration (OpenShift, EKS, AKS, Rancher, etc.)
  • Proficiency in modern development languages such as Python, Go, or Java
  • Background in systems engineering and integration
  • Strong understanding of DevOps methodologies and tooling
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines and version control systems (GitLab, Bitbucket, Git)
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills, able to engage with both engineers and senior stakeholders

Desirable Skills

  • Software testing practices and automation frameworks
  • Development of RESTful APIs and microservices
  • Linux environments, package management, and networking
  • Automation/configuration tools such as Ansible
  • Agile delivery experience (requirements analysis, story refinement)
  • SQL (MySQL, Postgres) and NoSQL systems (MongoDB, DynamoDB, Elasticsearch)
  • Exposure to technical bid writing and solution assurance
