    What does a Software Architect do?

    Software Architects serve a leadership role on software development teams. Software Architects are instrumental in planning the basic function of a software application based on the needs of a client. They communicate with stakeholders about the problems they’re experiencing and determine how to address those issues through software. Software Architects track each aspect of an application to make sure that their team is producing the appropriate infrastructure to host a functioning software application. They implement tests, identify bugs and correct lines of code to ensure the software program works correctly, tracking major changes and patches.
