Cyber Engineer; DV Security Clearance

As a Cyber Engineer within our cyber and protective monitoring capability, you will play a key role in modernising complex data platforms, advancing automation, and strengthening security operations. Working in a collaborative, on-site environment in Basingstoke, you’ll contribute to meaningful, technically challenging work while being supported to grow your expertise in SIEM technologies and Dev Ops practices, with the opportunity to shape robust, scalable solutions that make a tangible difference.

We offer a competitive salary, excellent pension, private healthcare, plus a share scheme (3.5% + 3.5% matching), which makes you a CGI Partner rather than just an employee.

We are committed to inclusivity and building a genuinely diverse community of tech talent, and we actively encourage careers in our sector, including for members of the Armed Forces. We are also proud to hold a Gold Award for our support of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant.

You will be joining an open, collaborative community of experts. Full training and development support is provided to help you grow your career in the direction you choose.

Due to the secure nature of the programme, you will need to hold UK Security Clearance or be eligible to obtain it. This role is based on-site in Basingstoke, 5 days per week.

In this role, you will contribute to the evolution of critical cyber and data platforms, helping modernise infrastructure and improve the reliability, scalability, and security of systems used in protective monitoring environments.

You will work within a Dev Ops-focused team to design, build, and enhance data ingestion and processing pipelines, ensuring systems are automated, resilient, and aligned with evolving security requirements. You will collaborate closely with clients and internal teams to deliver solutions that directly support mission‑critical outcomes.

You will also help improve release processes, embed automation, and support continuous delivery practices, while developing your skills across SIEM tooling and modern engineering frameworks.

Key responsibilities include:

• Modernise & transform data collection, processing, and storage using distributed systems (Kafka, Kubernetes, Zookeeper)
• Develop & deliver CI/CD pipelines to improve release quality and deployment efficiency
• Optimise & automate deployment and release processes
• Collaborate with stakeholders to align engineering work with security requirements
• Support & enhance SIEM and protective monitoring capabilities
• Document and maintain technical designs, installation steps, and support processes

You should have a solid foundation in software engineering, cyber engineering, or systems development, with experience working in Linux and/or Windows environments.

You will bring a proactive mindset, strong communication skills, and a willingness to learn in a secure, high‑assurance environment. Exposure to Dev Ops practices, automation, or security tooling will help you succeed in the role.

• Good working knowledge of RHEL and/or Windows
• Strong communication skills across technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Experience creating and maintaining technical documentation
• Familiarity with scripting (Bash, Power Shell)
• Exposure to Dev Ops, CI/CD, or automation tools (e.g., Ansible, Azure Dev Ops)
• Awareness of SIEM, protective monitoring, or cybersecurity concepts

• Understanding of data engineering principles or SQL-based systems
