What you won’t be doing as a Software Architect in Agilent:
- No Firefighting: While Architects can help with production issues, constant crisis management prevents architects from performing their core duties, which require focused thinking time.
- No Delivery Coding: Architecture is a distinct career path that involves broader organizational and strategic concerns beyond writing code. While senior developers specialize in delivering software, architects have wider responsibilities.
- No Project Management: Though architects may get pulled into project management space as technical assessment or estimation contributors, this diverts them from their primary responsibility of designing and guiding technical direction.
