Network & Hiring Event: Agentic AI and Quantum Careers in Knoxville

Join CGI for an informal networking and hiring event at Fred’s Around the Corner, focused on the next wave of mission-ready technology: advanced agentic AI, quantum-ready systems, and the real-world workloads where they matter most. Meet CGI leaders and technologists, learn about our work in Knoxville, and explore opportunities to build, ship, and scale solutions that move beyond pilots into production.
Heavy hors d’oeuvres and drink tickets will be provided. To confirm your attendance, please complete the RSVP form.
5:00 – 5:30 p.m. — Arrival, appetizers, and networking
5:30 – 6:00 p.m. — Welcome + “What we’re building in Knoxville” (CGI overview)
6:00 – 6:45 p.m. — Hiring spotlight: roles, teams, and mission work (Agentic AI + Quantum)
6:45 – 7:30 p.m. — Q&A, meet-the-team networking, and next steps
About the event
AI is rapidly becoming mission-critical in regulated, high-stakes environments. At the same time, the next advantage is emerging at the intersection of AI and quantum computing—especially for optimization, planning, and resource allocation at scale. Turning that promise into deployable capability takes more than tools: it requires engineering rigor, security-minded delivery, and builders who can operate in real mission contexts.
This event is for people who want to do hands-on work—designing, building, integrating, and operating modern AI systems (and preparing for quantum-ready approaches) in a production environment.
Who should attend
- Full-stack engineers, platform engineers, and cloud engineers
- AI/ML engineers, applied scientists, and data engineers
- MLOps/AIOps, DevSecOps, and automation/orchestration practitioners
- Systems thinkers who like solving hard problems end-to-end—from prototype to production
- Students, early-career technologists, and experienced hires interested in Knoxville’s innovation ecosystem
What you’ll learn
- What CGI does in Knoxville and how our teams deliver real outcomes
- How we’re advancing agentic AI orchestration across modernization, greenfield development, and operations
- Where quantum-ready thinking fits today (and what “practical” looks like)
- How to engage: open roles, interview process, and ways to stand out
Hiring note
Some roles may require U.S. citizenship and the ability to obtain a security clearance (role-dependent). Bring questions—and if you have a portfolio, GitHub, or project demos, feel free to share.
