Description
Position Description

At CGI, you’ll help shape the future of critical national services by designing secure, scalable solutions that power healthcare, public safety and citizen platforms nationwide. As a Solutions Architect, you’ll translate complex needs into clear technical direction, guiding teams to deliver high-value, real-world impact. You’ll take ownership, explore new possibilities and grow in a supportive, collaborative 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. 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 is a hybrid position.

Your future duties and responsibilities

In this role, you will design and guide secure, scalable solutions for mission-critical national services. You’ll work with clients and delivery teams to shape architectures that deliver measurable value and ensure solutions remain robust and future-ready. You’ll act as a trusted advisor, resolving complex challenges and supporting teams to deliver with confidence.

Key responsibilities:

  • Lead & Innovate: Define end-to-end solution architectures.
  • Design & Deliver: Create clear architecture documentation and patterns.
  • Advise & Influence: Support senior stakeholders on technology direction.
  • Secure & Assure: Embed strong security and compliance practices.
  • Collaborate & Mentor: Guide engineering teams and champion quality.
  • Evaluate & Evolve: Assess emerging technologies and drive improvement.

  • Required Qualifications To Be Successful In This Role

    You should bring strong technical breadth, experience designing secure, scalable architectures, and the ability to work across both technical and client-facing environments.

    You should have:

    • Experience designing secure, scalable, resilient architectures demonstrating how you innovate & evolve, for example continuously assess new AWS capabilities.
    • Knowledge of microservices and event-driven patterns. Able to produce clear, high-quality architectural documentation and solution patterns tailored to different audiences, including technical review boards, development teams, and senior stakeholders.
    • Hands-on engineering experience (IaC, DevOps, Java/Python/.NET).
  • Strong understanding of security architecture and risk management.
  • Ability to produce clear technical documentation.
  • Experience influencing teams and stakeholders.

  • Together, as owners, let’s turn meaningful insights into action.

    Life at CGI is rooted in ownership, teamwork, respect and belonging. Here, you’ll reach your full potential because…

    You are invited to be an owner from day 1 as we work together to bring our Dream to life. That’s why we call ourselves CGI Partners rather than employees. We benefit from our collective success and actively shape our company’s strategy and direction.

    Your work creates value. You’ll develop innovative solutions and build relationships with teammates and clients while accessing global capabilities to scale your ideas, embrace new opportunities, and benefit from expansive industry and technology expertise.

    You’ll shape your career by joining a company built to grow and last. You’ll be supported by leaders who care about your health and well-being and provide you with opportunities to deepen your skills and broaden your horizons.

    Come join our team—one of the largest IT and business consulting services firms in the world.
