Which titles stay out of the count
The seat is spelled-out Software Architect, Senior included; Solutions Architect and Enterprise Architect stay outside the 1351.
Five exclusive company records
Each number comes from one company's own exclusive homepage record: IBM (www.ibm.com), SAP (www.sap.com), Oracle (www.oracle.com), NVIDIA (www.nvidia.com), Cisco (www.cisco.com).
Methodology
Every figure is a count of current profiles on one named company's own exclusive homepage record — IBM, SAP, Oracle, NVIDIA, Cisco — never a rolled-up parent entity. The seat is spelled-out Software Architect, with Senior counted in the same family. All numbers share one as-of date, 2026-10-06 PT. Source: Metix AI.
FAQ
- Why these five companies and not other Software Architect employers?
- Because each of the five — IBM, SAP, Oracle, NVIDIA, Cisco — has its own exclusive company homepage record, so its bench can be counted directly. Together they hold 1351 current Software Architect profiles across the five exclusive company homepage records as of 2026-10-06 PT.
- Does the total of 1351 include Solutions Architect or Enterprise Architect titles?
- No. The 1351 is the sum of current Software Architect profiles on the five exclusive company homepage records (513 + 248 + 229 + 217 + 144) as of 2026-10-06 PT; Solutions Architect and Enterprise Architect titles are counted outside this seat.
- Why does IBM sit at 513 while Cisco sits at 144?
- The counting rule is identical for both: current Software Architect profiles on each company's own exclusive homepage record as of 2026-10-06 PT. IBM's record holds 513 and Cisco's holds 144, so the gap reflects bench depth rather than a different scope.
- Can this same Software Architect seat cut be remade for a company outside the published 1351-person pack?
- Yes. The published software architecture peer pack stays fixed at 1351 across the five exclusive homepage records as of 2026-10-06 PT, and the same spelled-out Software Architect seat can be applied to another company record on request.
