Role Summary: The Solutions Architect, AI & Automation serves as a strategic and execution-focused partner to business leaders, designing and delivering applied AI and automation solutions that improve operational performance, decision-making, and productivity. This role combines hands-on technical execution with business partnership: identifying high-value opportunities directly with site and vertical leadership, architecting the solution, building it, and driving adoption. The position operates with a high degree of autonomy and is accountable for measurable EBITDA and working capital outcomes rather than tasks, serving as the company's internal technical authority on automation, cloud architecture, and applied AI.
Benefits: Gexpro Services offers a comprehensive benefits package that includes:
- Competitive compensation plus annual bonus
- Medical, dental, vision, life insurance and pet insurance
- Hybrid work schedule
- Flexible Spending Accounts
- Employee assistance program and Health wellness programs
- 401(k) immediately with a competitive match
- Several paid holidays and paid time off that includes personal, sick and vacation time.
Essential Responsibilities
Solution Architecture & Delivery
- Own end-to-end technical design across the full solution stack — data, integrations, backend services, applications, and cloud infrastructure — for enterprise initiatives prioritized on EBITDA and TWC impact.
- Serve as the technical architect on multiple concurrent projects, setting direction through working code, reference architectures, and reusable design patterns.
- Design and build cloud-based solutions and system integrations that connect ERP (QAD), Microsoft 365, reporting, and operational platforms.
- Develop applications and automations using Python, SQL, and cloud services, from prototype through production deployment.
- Lead end-to-end delivery of initiatives from concept through pilot to scaled deployment, including change management and user adoption.
- Define plans to deliver change in 1–3 month increments, using agile methodologies to deliver incremental improvements in quick time periods.
- Travel to sites as required to deploy solutions, train end users, and drive adoption.
AI & Automation Strategy
- Identify, scope, and prioritize AI and automation use cases aligned to business value and strategic objectives.
- Translate operational pain points into AI-enabled workflows, copilots, automations, and decision-support tools.
- Evaluate, recommend, and implement AI and automation technologies, including generative AI, RAG, agentic solutions, robotic process automation, and machine learning applications.
- Support and lead development of AI use cases including Microsoft 365 Copilot, internal agents, and ERP-adjacent solutions.
- Establish standards, governance, and reusable patterns for automation and AI development across the business.
- Rapidly prototype to demonstrate possibilities to business leaders and build the case for investment.
- Conduct build-versus-buy analysis and advise leadership on where internal development delivers better value than third-party engagement.
- Identify technical, delivery, and adoption risks early and develop mitigation strategies that optimize cost and risk.
- Maintain current expertise in a rapidly evolving technology landscape through industry conferences, vendor technical briefings, certification programs, and continuous hands-on evaluation of new platforms and tools.
- Bring external market and technology insight back into the business, assessing new capabilities against Gexpro's operating needs and recommending where they warrant investment or piloting.
Business Partnership & Process Improvement
- Engage directly with branch teams, functional support, vertical and site leadership, customers, and suppliers to identify process gaps and simplification opportunities.
- Gather business requirements independently and translate them into technical requirements and solution designs without intermediary analysis.
- Drive strategic initiatives aimed at improving business KPIs through defining the issue, analyzing and prioritizing root causes, making improvements, and verifying results.
- Gather data on existing processes, identify where the top problems are, and demonstrate improvement results after positive changes are made.
- Build and present business cases, cost-benefit analyses, and solution recommendations to executive leadership, including the CEO.
- Gain the "hearts and minds" of employees globally to change the way they work and improve the top/bottom line and customer service.
Vendor & Program Leadership
- Lead technology vendor evaluations and selection processes, including requirements definition, demonstrations, scoring, and commercial recommendation.
- Own the business case and secure funding approval for technology investments.
- Partner with IT, vendors, and business stakeholders to integrate solutions into existing enterprise systems.
- Govern third-party delivery partners through the implementation lifecycle, including regular working sessions, scope management, and acceptance of delivered work against requirements.
- Configure and lead the setup of supporting IT infrastructure required for third-party and internal solutions.
Leadership & Team Development
- Manage and develop direct reports, including goal setting, work assignment, performance feedback, and career development planning.
- Provide technical mentorship through code review, design review, and pairing; establish the engineering standards and practices the team works to.
- Onboard and ramp early-career technical hires, building their capability in cloud, automation, and AI development.
- Scope and delegate work appropriately, balancing individual delivery against team throughput and development goals.

Tips for Your Automation Architect Job Search
Quantify automation outcomes on your resume
Hiring managers want to see the business impact of your work, not just the tools you used. Replace vague descriptions with concrete outcomes: processes automated, error rates reduced, or deployment times cut. Automation architects are hired to deliver results, so your resume should prove you do.
List your orchestration and integration platforms
Job postings for automation architects rarely assume tool expertise, so you need to name the platforms you know. Include the specific orchestration, RPA, and integration tools you have designed with, not just broad categories. Recruiters scan for exact platform names when filtering candidates.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists automation architect openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Target postings that name a governance requirement
Roles that mention compliance, audit trails, or change management signal a more senior scope and less competition from pure developers. If your background includes automation governance or center-of-excellence work, prioritize those postings, since most applicants overlook them.
Prepare a whiteboard design answer for interviews
Automation architect interviews almost always include a live architecture exercise where you design a workflow or integration pattern on the spot. Practice walking through trade-offs out loud: why you chose one trigger mechanism over another, how you would handle failure states, and where you drew the boundary between automation and human review.
Negotiate scope alongside compensation
Automation architect roles vary widely in what you actually own. Before accepting an offer, clarify whether you are designing and handing off work or also responsible for ongoing governance and tooling decisions. That scope difference affects career trajectory more than starting pay, so raise it in final-round conversations.
Automation Architect Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most automation architects?
The companies hiring the most automation architects right now include 4P Consulting, Apple, and Capgemini, with the largest share of openings in Texas, California, and Georgia, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand is concentrated in industries with high transaction volume and complex back-office operations, including financial services, healthcare systems, and large-scale logistics.
How many automation architect jobs are remote?
About 90% of automation architect openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting strong demand for distributed architecture talent. Roles focused on cloud-native workflow design and RPA platform configuration tend to be the most remote-friendly, while positions tied to on-premise system integration or manufacturing floor automation more often require on-site presence.
How do you become an automation architect?
Start by building hands-on experience as an automation developer or integration engineer, then move into designing end-to-end workflows rather than just building individual bots or scripts. Earn platform certifications in at least one major RPA or orchestration tool. Develop skills in solution design documentation, stakeholder communication, and governance frameworks, since the architect role requires translating business requirements into technical blueprints, not just writing code.
How do you get hired as an automation architect with little experience?
Focus on demonstrating architecture thinking rather than years of experience. Build a portfolio of solution design documents, process maps, or personal projects that show you can analyze a process end-to-end and design an automation solution with error handling and scalability in mind. Targeting smaller organizations or internal automation teams that need a first architect is more productive than competing for senior roles at large enterprises with crowded applicant pools.
What does the automation architect interview process look like?
Most automation architect interview processes include a screening call with a recruiter or engineering manager, followed by a technical interview covering your platform experience and architecture decisions from past projects. Expect at least one live design exercise where you map out an automation solution for a scenario the interviewer provides. Final rounds typically involve a panel with engineering leads and sometimes a business stakeholder who evaluates your ability to translate process requirements into a technical design.
Where can I find and apply to automation architect jobs?
You can find and apply to automation architect jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your background and specialization, then apply directly to each one that fits.
