software architects

Code structure designers

Software architects are senior developers who design the high-level structure of software systems—choosing technologies, defining how components interact, and establishing patterns that other programmers follow.

The role bridges technical implementation and business requirements: We need a software architect to decide whether this should be microservices or a monolith.

Like building architects, they create blueprints others execute.
