Job description

Position Description:

At CGI, we deliver innovative technology solutions that help some of the world’s leading organisations transform the way they operate.

As a Software Engineer supporting one of our key accounts in Scotland, you’ll contribute to the development of scalable, high-performance applications that support critical business services and customer experiences.

Working within collaborative Agile teams, you’ll help build modern cloud-ready solutions using Java and React, contributing to both backend services and responsive front-end applications.

This is an exciting opportunity to work on impactful projects, enhance your technical expertise, and grow your career within a supportive environment that encourages innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning.

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.

Due to the secure nature of some of our programmes, you may need to hold UK Security Clearance or be eligible to go through this clearance.
