You'll be empowered to take ownership of complex technical challenges while developing your expertise in a collaborative and supportive environment.

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.

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.

Your future duties and responsibilities
In this role, you will manage and enhance AWS cloud infrastructure, ensuring platforms remain secure, resilient and highly available. You'll take ownership of AWS-native security monitoring, reporting and alerting services, proactively identifying, triaging and resolving security issues while supporting the ongoing evolution of modern cloud infrastructure. Working closely with architects and engineering teams, you'll help deliver scalable cloud solutions that align with security, operational and business requirements.
You'll also contribute to the continuous improvement of cloud platforms by promoting Infrastructure as Code, DevOps practices and automation across the delivery lifecycle.
