Why we read it this way (8)
This is a contract-to-hire role placed by staffing firm System One (CGI is the end client); compensation is not disclosed.
The role is onsite at a client location in the Salt Lake City, UT area — no remote option is indicated.
The JD is classified as Software Developers (15-1252) rather than Data Scientists (15-2051) because the primary emphasis is on building and deploying AI-powered product features, APIs, microservices, and cloud-native systems — engineering delivery rather than modeling or research. Data Scientists is noted as a plausible runner-up given the ML/GenAI depth.
The 'up to 2 years' experience ceiling is consistent with the Junior advertised title; seniority is assessed as Junior accordingly.
FastAPI is listed as an example ('e.g., FastAPI') within the required qualifications section; it is treated as a hard gate on that microservices/API capability, with FastAPI as the named representative tool.
LangChain and LangGraph are listed together as examples of agentic frameworks in the required section; LangChain is emitted as the primary skill with LangGraph in alternatives.
Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers appear in the required qualifications block and are treated as a hard gate, though this is an emerging standard and the requirement may reflect familiarity rather than deep expertise.
