Why we read it this way (7)
The role title 'Intelligent Systems Engineer' carries no standard seniority level; advertised seniority is treated as Unspecified.
The iPaaS requirement names Workato and Tray.io/Tray.ai as primary examples with 'or similar' — Zapier is also explicitly named; all three are captured as alternatives on one skill since the posting treats them as interchangeable.
GenAI tooling (OpenAI, LangChain, prompt engineering) is framed with 'or curiosity to learn fast,' placing it under preferred rather than required. OpenAI and LangChain are listed as separate preferred skills since they are distinct tools, though the posting groups them together.
ServiceNow and RPA platforms appear only under the 'Bonus' section and are marked preferred accordingly.
No compensation figures are provided beyond a mention of 'competitive salary and bonus structure.'
Although the company is fully remote, this specific role is geographically restricted to the Indianapolis, IN metro area, so remote is set to false.
The alt SOC 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is noted because the role has a significant client-facing consulting and workflow-analysis dimension alongside the engineering work.
