What this job asks for AI summary

This role centers on designing and architecting solutions built around IBM's automation portfolio — including tools for business automation, IT automation, robotic process automation, integration, and observability. The architect works alongside internal sales teams and IBM directly to shape client engagements. It suits someone with hands-on automation or integration experience who has previously worked in a partner or channel environment.

Why we read it this way (7)

The role is titled 'Technical Solution Architect, IBM' with no explicit seniority level in the title; advertised seniority is therefore Unspecified. The 5+ years requirement and scope of work (designing complex enterprise automation solutions, partner/channel engagement) support a Senior classification.

Compensation is described only as 'base plus bonus at market value' — no figures are provided, so no comp range can be extracted.

The posting is hybrid/onsite at Chandler, AZ headquarters; it is not fully remote. Employees may work from another location for up to 30 consecutive days per year, but this is a benefit perk, not a remote-work arrangement.

All named technologies appear under a 'Familiarity with the following desirable' clause or are framed as 'highly preferred' — none are stated as hard gates in the requirements section. The IBM Automation portfolio experience (Cloud Pak, RPA, watsonx Orchestrate) is 'highly preferred'; IBM certifications are 'preferred'. The core hard gates are the degree and 5+ years of hands-on automation/integration/IT operations experience, plus partner/channel experience — none of which map to a named technology skill.

Partner/channel experience is explicitly required ('is required') but names no specific technology or platform, so it is captured here in notes rather than as a skill entry.

SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role blends pre-sales solution architecture (15-1211 Computer Systems Analysts) with elements of software/systems design. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is noted as a runner-up given the solution architect framing.

Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation.
