Forward deployed AI engineer

At CGI, you'll help turn the possibilities of agentic AI into measurable outcomes for organisations operating in complex enterprise environments. Working at the intersection of clients, software engineering and emerging AI, you'll take ownership of ambiguous challenges and rapidly transform them into prototypes, operational pilots and production-ready solutions.

• Embed with clients to understand workflows, technology environments and business challenges, identifying high-value opportunities for AI.
• Rapidly build prototypes, interfaces and MVPs to test ideas against clearly defined workflows and measurable outcomes.
• Build agentic AI systems that integrate securely with client infrastructure, data and operational processes.
• Develop across user interfaces, backend services, APIs, integrations, data and cloud environments.
• Engineer agent context, tools and orchestration with appropriate permissions, evaluations, guardrails and human oversight.
• Develop deep expertise in OpenAI Codex and apply AI-assisted engineering to real client development workflows.
• Convert successful implementations into repeatable agentic patterns, workflows, assets and propositions.
• Deliver technical demonstrations and presentations to technical and non-technical audiences and contribute to RFPs, bids and tenders.
• Take validated concepts from experimentation through MVPs to secure, robust and scalable production solutions.

• 6+ years in a software engineering role and/or consulting role
• 2+ years as a Technical Lead
• Practical experience with OpenAI Codex, Claude Code or comparable agentic coding tools.
• Working knowledge of context engineering, tool use, orchestration, evaluation and guardrails, gained professionally or through substantial hands-on experimentation.
• Broad understanding of front-end applications, backend services, APIs, integrations and cloud infrastructure.
• Proven ability to take software from experimentation and prototyping through to operational deployment.
• Strong experience in pre-sales, solution engineering, consulting or client-embedded software delivery.
• Ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly and concisely to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Confidence working with ambiguity, changing priorities and emerging technologies while driving work towards practical outcomes.
• Будет плюсом: Experience designing agentic AI applications using technologies such as the Codex SDK/API, OpenAI Agents SDK/API, MCP, skills, subagents or comparable frameworks would be advantageous; Experience with agent evaluation, observability, sandboxing, permissions, human-in-the-loop approaches, CI/CD, DevOps, cloud platforms or deploying AI within secure and regulated environments would also be valuable

• 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.
• This is a hybrid position.
• You are invited to be an owner from day 1 as we work together to bring our Dream to life.
• You'll be supported by leaders who care about your health and well-being and provide you with opportunities to deepen your skills and broaden your horizons.
