At CGI, we value ownership, trust, and innovation. You will work in a multidisciplinary, international team, where your expertise in DevOps and SecDevOps practices will drive automation, reliability, and efficiency across the development and operations lifecycle. Acting as both a technical referent and release manager, you will ensure smooth integration, delivery, and deployment processes that meet the high standards required in mission-critical space systems.

Your Day-to-Day Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines to ensure reliable, efficient, and automated delivery of software solutions.
• Act as Release Manager, overseeing planning, coordination, and execution of releases, ensuring minimal risk and smooth delivery.
• Serve as a technical referent for DevOps practices, providing guidance and support to development and operations teams.
• Implement and enforce SecDevOps principles, integrating security into the development lifecycle to ensure compliance and robustness.
• Collaborate closely with architects, developers, testers, and system engineers to streamline workflows and remove delivery bottlenecks.
• Monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize build, integration, and deployment processes, ensuring high availability and system reliability.
• Support and coach teams in the use of DevOps tools and methodologies, raising overall maturity within the organization.
• Document processes, pipelines, and release practices, ensuring traceability and compliance with space industry standards.

What We’re Looking For

• A Bachelor’s degree or higher in Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, Telecommunications, or a related technical field.
• 5+ years of experience as a DevOps Engineer, with proven achievements in creating and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices.
• Experience acting as a release manager or coordinating releases in complex, mission-critical environments.
• Strong knowledge of automation, containerization, and orchestration tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible, Terraform).
• Familiarity with monitoring, logging, and incident management tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK).
• Experience or knowledge in SecDevOps practices, embedding security into CI/CD pipelines and operational processes.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to act as a technical referent within an international, cross-functional team.
• Structured, proactive, and delivery-focused, with a strong sense of ownership

Nice to Have

• Experience working in European space programs such as Galileo, Copernicus, or similar.
• Familiarity with ECSS standards or mission-critical system lifecycles.
• Certifications such as AWS/Azure DevOps Engineer, Kubernetes Administrator (CKA), or SAFe DevOps Practitioner.
• Previous collaboration with ESA, EUSPA, or other space industry stakeholders.

For this role all the work needs to be performed on-site at our CGI office with no hybrid working opportunities.
