Position Description
At CGI, we help organisations turn complex data into powerful, trusted platforms that enable smarter decisions and lasting impact. As a Senior Data Engineer, you’ll be instrumental in designing, building, and evolving a large-scale data platform that underpins critical business outcomes. Working within a collaborative DevOps environment, you’ll deliver resilient, scalable data solutions while shaping best practice and driving continuous improvement. You’ll be encouraged to take ownership of your work, explore creative approaches to data engineering challenges, and grow your career within a supportive culture that values collaboration, innovation, and real-world impact.
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 role offering flexibility to balance on-site collaboration and remote working. You’ll primarily work from home or your local CGI office, with occasional travel to client workshops or team sessions at key locations such as Birmingham, London, Manchester, or Leeds.
Your future duties and responsibilities
In this role, you will play a key part in building and maintaining robust data pipelines that support a modern, enterprise-scale data platform. You’ll work closely with architects, analysts, and client stakeholders to ensure data is reliable, accessible, and aligned to architectural standards. You’ll be trusted to take ownership of engineering outcomes, contribute ideas to improve platform performance and resilience, and help shape a positive, collaborative engineering culture.
