Definition: A solutions architect designs how software systems, cloud services and integrations fit together to meet a business need, translating requirements into a technical blueprint that engineering teams can build.
Solutions architects gather requirements, evaluate technology options, design system and data flows, define integration and security approaches, estimate cost and guide teams during implementation. Cloud providers offer related certifications, such as AWS Certified Solutions Architect.
A software architect usually focuses on the internal structure of one application. An enterprise architect looks across the whole organization's systems and standards. A tech lead guides one team's day-to-day technical work.
For AI work, solutions architects decide where models run, how data reaches them through RAG or pipelines, how access is controlled, and how the system connects to existing applications. They are often central during a discovery phase, when choices about cloud, data and vendors are still open and cheap to change.
