As a solution architect you are responsible for designing and overseeing the implementation of complex software solutions. You work with various stakeholders, including developers, Product owners, delivery leads, business users, and organizational leadership in order to identify the requirements and constraints of a project, for which you develop, document and align a comprehensive plan to achieve the desired outcome.
As a solution architect you are responsible for ensuring that the architecture of the solution is scalable, maintainable, extensible, secure, and meets the needs of the business. You also provide technical leadership and guidance to the development teams throughout the project lifecycle.
