you can go to cic site itself where they have very clearly defined NOC and description. there is bit difference between computer programmer and software engineers. you should careful check that.
if you have your employer filed for your work permit , they must have also mentioned your NOC in their application to CIC. thats how i picked up mine.
it is completely based on my experience , you are going to fall under 2174 or 2173 , however CIC always updates description so you should check everyhting.

My employer did not file my work permit. I am on PGWP. See thats my problem, i am not sure if i should go with 2173, 2174 or 2175? I have worked on e-commerece web applications using C# .NET, SQL and front end scripts as well. I have also worked on a MSI installer for windows and will work on MAC installers.

I am so confused, I made my EE profile picking 2174 but now I am thinking if I should change it or not?

Somebody help..
