Do you enjoy solving complex challenges? Are you keen to see your work making a real positive impact on UK citizens’ lives? If so, join our Central Government business here at CGI as a Software Engineer. We deliver projects that enhance services, transform organisations, and ultimately make everyday life easier for people. At CGI, you’ll be part of a collaborative and supportive environment where your career development matters as much as the solutions you create.



CGI has been recognised in the Sunday Times Best Places to Work List 2025 and 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) — making you a member, 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. We proudly hold a Gold Award for our support of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant.



This is a hybrid working role. Ideally, you will be based within a commutable distance of one of our CGI offices in Newcastle, Manchester, Leeds, or Birmingham, but we will consider candidates from other UK locations. All applicants must hold or be prepared to undergo National Security Vetting (NSV) to Security Check (SC) level as a minimum.

Day-to-day, you will:



• Work within a team on the design and development of system components.

• Write clean, well-structured code, document changes, follow established processes, and conduct unit testing.

• Ensure adherence to secure coding standards and industry best practices.

For more experienced consultants:

• Produce system designs, including program specifications, prototypes/MVPs, recovery and restart procedures, and data flow documentation.

• Provide effort estimates and review the work of other developers.

• Undertake the complete technical design of smaller applications or components of larger applications using templates and tools.

• Specify user/system interfaces and translate designs into technical solutions considering target environment, performance, and existing systems.

• Document work to agreed standards, methods, and tools, including prototypes where appropriate.

• Contribute to functional and non-functional requirements gathering.

• Support the development of coding and security standards, processes, and best practices.

• Assist in troubleshooting and resolving technical issues across the team.

Required qualifications to be successful in this role

Key Competencies:



• Development: Strong programming skills in Java, C#, or Python, with proven ability to design and build scalable solutions.

• Software Design: Knowledge of architecture and system integration, including Cloud, Automation, APIs, DevOps, and Mobile technologies.

• Secure Software Development: Understanding and application of secure coding principles.

Tech Stack:

We’re particularly interested in experience with:

• Modern frameworks and tools (e.g. Spring Boot, .NET Core, React, Angular, Node.js).

• Cloud platforms such as AWS or Azure.

• Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation).

• Test automation frameworks and CI/CD pipelines.

Other requirements:

• A collaborative, solutions-focused mindset, adaptable to support teams across DevOps, testing, and delivery.
