Position Description:
At CGI, our Space, Defence and Intelligence business unit delivers mission-critical systems that help keep the UK safe and secure.
As an OpenShift Infrastructure Engineer, you will play a key role in designing, building, and operating containerised platforms that enable scalable, resilient, and secure solutions. Working on complex, high-impact programmes, you will help drive innovation through cloud-native technologies and automation. You’ll take ownership of platform engineering activities, contribute creative solutions to technical challenges, and collaborate within a supportive environment that enables continuous growth and meaningful impact.
CGI was recognised in the Sunday Times Best Places to Work List 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. Join us and you’ll be part of an open, friendly community of experts. We’ll train and support you in taking your career wherever you want it to go.
Due to the secure nature of the programme, you will need to hold UK Security Clearance or be eligible to go through this clearance. This position will be based on site near Gloucester 5 days a week.
