software architect

Code structure designer

A software architect designs the high-level structure of software systems, making decisions about components, frameworks, and how pieces interact.

The role sits between abstract planning and hands-on coding—architects must understand both business requirements and technical constraints.

We brought in a software architect to redesign the legacy system.

Like building architects, they create blueprints others will implement.
