At CGI, we deliver secure, scalable digital services that support some of the UK’s most important public sector organisations. As a Principal Technical Lead within one of our key UK Government programmes, you’ll provide strategic engineering leadership across multiple high-performing product teams delivering critical digital justice services. You’ll help shape the future of complex cloud-based platforms while guiding the adoption of modern engineering and AI-enabled capabilities that improve service quality, operational efficiency, and user outcomes. Working in a highly collaborative environment, you’ll influence technical direction, mentor senior engineering leaders, and drive innovation across large-scale public sector transformation programmes that make a meaningful difference to citizens nationwide. 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 position.
