Position Description
At CGI, you will play a key role in shaping intuitive, high-performing digital experiences that deliver real value to clients and end users. As a React Developer, you will contribute to building scalable front-end solutions that support business transformation and innovation across industries. Working within a collaborative and forward-thinking environment, you will have the opportunity to take ownership of your work, contribute creative ideas, and help deliver impactful outcomes. CGI empowers you to grow your expertise, work with modern technologies, and make a meaningful difference while being supported by a strong, inclusive team culture.
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. Our teams operate within a flexible hybrid working model, however on-site requirements vary by project, so the ability to travel as required to meet client needs is essential. Initially the majority of this work will need 1/2 days a week on site in Glasgow.
