Position Description
Join CGI as a Senior Full Stack Developer and help shape the digital services that support access to justice across the UK. Working with one of our key UK Government Department clients, you’ll take ownership of reusable technology that enables their services to onboard faster, integrate consistently, and operate reliably. You’ll apply your Java and Angular expertise to solve complex engineering challenges, improve developer experiences, and deliver secure, accessible services at scale. You’ll have the scope to introduce fresh ideas, explore AI-assisted engineering, and influence technical decisions, while working alongside supportive CGI colleagues, architects, product specialists, and delivery teams committed to engineering excellence and meaningful public-sector outcomes.
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.
Your future duties and responsibilities
In this hands-on role, you will take ownership of designing, building, and enhancing reusable full stack components, services, and APIs used across multiple digital services. Working across Java, Angular, and associated technologies, you’ll turn architectural direction and business requirements into secure, accessible, and production-ready solutions, while improving the integration and onboarding experience for consuming teams.
You’ll work collaboratively across CGI, client, and supplier teams, bringing your ideas to technical design and solving complex delivery challenges. Supported by a multidisciplinary engineering community, you’ll balance rapid delivery with long-term maintainability, mentor colleagues, and continuously improve engineering practices, automation, and service resilience.
