Your future duties and responsibilities

You will define, validate, and promote appropriate infrastructure for bids, deals, or projects, reporting to the CTO and Delivery Director, with a focus on growth and change activities.

You will build logical models of networks and infrastructure components, contribute to infrastructure architectures, and produce detailed component specifications that translate into implementation designs using selected products.

You will promote good infrastructure practices within our team and to clients, assist in preparing technical plans, change governance, and estimations throughout the project lifecycle.

Required qualifications

• Strong planning, communication, and presentation skills, with the ability to identify solutions and produce project proposals.
• Experience with public and private cloud (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) and platforms (Linux/Windows).
• Broad knowledge of infrastructure, public cloud, Linux, Wintel, SAN, and Networks. Familiarity with Oracle, Azure, and IaC tools like Terraform and Ansible is advantageous.

At CGI, ownership, teamwork, respect, and belonging are core values. From day one, you are invited to be an owner, helping shape our strategy and success.
