At CGI, you’ll help deliver a secure, on-premise cloud platform that will underpin critical Defence services for years to come. In this role, your work will directly enable the modernisation of legacy applications, supporting their migration onto a robust Azure Stack Hub–based environment.

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.
