Position Description
At CGI, you'll help deliver a critical Azure-based platform that keeps road users, transport providers, and public services informed with accurate, timely, and reliable road network information. Working on a service that underpins essential decision-making, you'll play a key role in improving platform resilience, security, and automation while helping accelerate the delivery of data to downstream consumers. You'll collaborate with talented multidisciplinary teams, contribute innovative ideas, and take ownership of meaningful technical challenges, supported by an environment that invests in your growth and empowers you to make a lasting impact.
CGI was recognized 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 and you can be based anywhere in the UK. There might be some very occasional expensed travel to client/CGI offices as project demand but we try to keep this to a minimum.
Your Future Duties and Responsibilities
In this role, you will help operate, maintain, and evolve a business-critical Azure platform that collects, processes, and distributes road network information from multiple data sources. Working closely with data engineers, API developers, and testers, you will ensure the platform remains secure, resilient, and highly available while supporting continuous improvements to automation, infrastructure, and operational efficiency.
