Position Description

Join CGI as a Senior Software Engineer and help shape, strengthen, and evolve critical digital services that clients rely on every day. You’ll have the opportunity to take ownership of complex technical challenges, turn insight into lasting improvements, and deliver enhancements that increase reliability, resilience, and performance.

Working alongside experienced engineering, platform, QA, and client teams, you’ll have the freedom to bring forward new ideas while being supported by a collaborative community of experts. This is an opportunity to combine hands-on engineering with meaningful service improvement, helping CGI deliver secure, high-value digital solutions while developing your expertise across modern applications and cloud technologies.

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 role, you will provide senior engineering expertise across a portfolio of critical digital services, taking ownership of complex live-service challenges from investigation through to permanent resolution. You’ll design and deliver application enhancements, resolve defects, and help ensure services remain secure, reliable, resilient, and maintainable.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
