“or” means any one of them counts — you don't need all of them.
We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
How this req sits in the market our data
Rare in this occupation — lead with these, and say what you built with them.
Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.
What the occupation pays Median $116,580 (middle half $79,370–$157,500). This posting is about at that midpoint.
Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 28, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (11)
This role is based in Vienna, Austria — US compensation benchmarks do not apply. The US-based flag is set to false.
The posting is for a 12-month+ contract engagement at a day rate of €520–€560, billed in EUR.
The role is titled 'AI Architect / AI Solution Architect' with no explicit seniority level in the title; the title states no level. The 6+ years requirement and enterprise-scope responsibilities support a Senior classification.
SOC 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used because AI Architect is a distinct, emerging occupation not cleanly covered by 15-1211 (Systems Analysts) or 15-1252 (Software Developers); 15-1211 is noted as a plausible runner-up given the architecture consulting and integration focus.
The degree requirement lists a completed degree but explicitly accepts 'comparable AI certifications' as an alternative, so the degree requirement is set to None.
Claude is listed as a named tool under the required profile ('ideally Claude') alongside LLMs; it is retained as a separate skill given the explicit call-out, though the 'ideally' qualifier places it at the boundary — it is listed under the main profile section rather than Nice to Have.
Cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and MLOps/LLMOps appear under the 'Nice to Have' section and are marked preferred accordingly.
The working model is hybrid (2 days/week on-site in Vienna); remote is set to false.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): AI architecture, AI governance.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
This role's work location reads as outside the US — the candidate pool, comp, and contention benchmarks here are US-only (BLS employment, Adzuna/USAJOBS demand, and certified H-1B wages), so treat them as a rough US reference, not a local market.
