They are primarily responsible for conducting research and analysis to assess the business's needs, develop specific designs for the company, and keep company officials informed with all changes and updates.

Furthermore, a solutions architect must lead and encourage development teams, stay up to date with the newest trends to continue innovations within the systems, and implement its policies and guidelines.

Duties & Responsibilities

Solution Architects conduct research, but their research focuses on the needs of users rather than databases. They use this information to create solutions that address user concerns and help improve productivity. Solution Architects may also test proposed solutions to make sure they work as intended before presenting them to stakeholders. Solution Architects are responsible for the design and implementation of technical solutions that meet the business requirements of their organization.

They work closely with business stakeholders, analysts, and developers to understand the business problem, gather requirements, and develop a high-level solution design. Solution Architects also create detailed technical specifications for the solution and work with the development team to ensure that the solution is built to meet the requirements.

In addition, Solution Architects are responsible for ensuring that the solution is properly tested and deployed.

Desired Experience & Qualification

Solution Architects typically need a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or another related field.

They might also pursue a Master's Degree to gain more advanced knowledge in their field.

They need to have at least 5 years' experience working in a Consulting Business as a Solution Architect.

Solution Architects often have several years of experience working with computer systems before they earn a position as an Architect.

Some employers also prefer candidates who have experience leading teams of engineers or working on complex projects.

Solution Architects often work for smaller companies, like startups, where they can help develop solutions for specific problems.

For example, if a startup is developing an app for mobile devices, the solution architect can help them determine what type of technology they need to use to make their app successful.
