Job Description for Technical Architect

A technical architect acts as a liaison between the upper management of a company and the designers and developers who work on the company’s information technology (IT) needs. The technical architect must anticipate and identify these IT needs and design a solution, and they must make sure the solution works as efficiently as possible for all parties involved. It also is possible for technical architects to specialize in a specific part of an IT framework, such as security. However, most technical architects are responsible for improving end-user experience or ensuring a company’s internal digital framework works smoothly.
A technical architect usually works a standard 40 hour work week, but high-priority deadlines may require weekend or evening work. Depending the type of company in which one works, a technical architect may be called upon to travel to meet clients or may do all their work in an office.
To become a technical architect, a bachelor’s degree is required, usually in computer science, computer engineering, information systems, or software development. In addition, a technical architect is expected to have experience with a variety of programming languages, which depend on their organization's needs. Some of the more popular programming languages to be required are JavaScript, SQL, .NET, and C#. A company may also require certifications such as Microsoft Certified Architect, Sun Certification Enterprise Architect, Open Group IT Architect Certification, and IBM Service Orientated Architecture Solution Designer.
Technical Architect Tasks
  • Determine technical needs such as hardware, software, scalability and security requirements.
  • Coordinate design and integration of overall architecture and parts of proposed systems with clients.
  • Translate business needs to develop solutions from design to technological product.
  • Oversee developer teams to ensure that product is delivered on time and to specifications.
