Why we read it this way (8)
The title 'Lead Software Engineer' carries no explicit seniority level word (Junior/Mid/Senior/Staff/Principal), so advertised seniority is Unspecified; however, the role requires leading a team of 3–10 engineers, mentoring, and managing scope/timelines, which supports a Senior classification.
This role sits between a hands-on Software Developer (15-1252) and a people-managing IT manager (11-3021): it requires leading a team and managing stakeholder expectations, but the primary duties are still design, architecture, and hands-on coding — 15-1252 is the better fit, with 11-3021 as a genuine runner-up.
Front-end framework requirement lists React, Angular, and Vue.js as interchangeable options ('such as … and/or'); React is named first and most prominently, with Angular and Vue captured as alternatives.
Back-end language requirement lists Python, Node.js, .NET, C#, and Java as interchangeable options ('one or more of the following'); Python is listed first with the others as alternatives.
Cloud platform experience (AWS or Azure) and specific cloud services (Lambda, CodePipeline/Jenkins) appear in the duties/narrative section rather than the formal Required Qualifications block, so they are marked preferred.
Mobile development (iOS/Android), cloud database platforms, data engineering, and cloud certifications are explicitly listed under the 'OPTIONAL: Desired qualifications/non-essential skills required' heading.
The degree requirement is a hard gate: 'BS in Computer Science, Engineering, Management or Computer Information Systems (MIS or CIS) or related degree required' — no equivalent-experience substitution is offered.
The compensation range ($89,600–$198,400/year) is described as a 'reasonable estimate' and is wide, consistent with CGI's consulting model spanning multiple seniority levels.
