About the Role
CGI, recognised in the Sunday Times Best Places to Work List 2025 and named one of the 'World's Best Employers' by Forbes, is seeking experienced DevOps Engineers to join our Space, Defence and Intelligence business unit. You will work within a cross-functional team delivering innovative, mission-critical technical solutions for government agencies, helping to keep the country safe and secure.

This role offers fantastic opportunities to work in a highly rewarding environment with excellent learning and development prospects. You will apply your expertise in engineering, automation, and DevOps practices to design, build, and maintain robust, scalable, and secure platforms. Collaborating closely with developers, testers, and platform specialists, you will diagnose and resolve complex technical challenges, automate key elements of the software development lifecycle, and ensure quality assurance of applications deployed in Infrastructure-as-Code driven environments such as Puppet-managed infrastructure and Kubernetes platforms.

You will actively participate in Kanban and/or Scrum events, contributing to planning, estimating, and prioritising work as part of a high-performing team. CGI fosters a culture of innovation, collaboration, and ownership, ideal for highly motivated self-starters.

Due to the secure nature of this project, candidates must either hold or be eligible to obtain a high level of UK Security Clearance. Eligibility requires sole British nationality, UK residency for the past 10 years, and no more than 28 consecutive days outside the UK within the last five years. Individuals without current clearance are encouraged to apply and will be considered for this and other suitable roles within CGI.

Join CGI and become part of a supportive, inclusive community that values ownership, teamwork, respect, and belonging. Shape your career with one of the largest IT and business consulting firms globally, supported by leaders who care about your well-being and professional growth.
