Java Forum / General / November 2006Systems Architecture Developer - Job Duties?
Hello, I was wondering if this place could help me out. What exacly does a junior level Systems Architecture Developer normally do? Do you program all 8 hours a day? Do you write tests ? Do you come up with solutions to an issue then ask other coders to do it? Can anyone help me out here on what exactly is a Systems Architecture Developer I know thats like asking "what are the job duties of a software engineer" but even the vague descriptions can help me out here.

There is no industry-wide accepted definitions of job title. Different companies may have people doing the same thing, and having the same responsibilities and give them different job titles. Different companies may give people the same job title, but have them do wildly different things and have different responsibilities. If you really "need" a description, regardless of how vague, I'd say that a Systems Architecture Developer probably spends most of his/her time developing the architecture of a system. - Oliver > What exacly does a junior level Systems Architecture Developer normally > do? As I see it. - A systems architect designs solutions (he may also take part in developing the solution, but that is not the point) - He will most likely be involved in tasks regarding system stability, efficiency, quality etc. And he will be part of discussion about system integration. - A developer codes it. - A junior level anything is on the learning step of the senior so he would concentrate on the details of whatever he is doing so that he can later understand the bigger picture and become a senior. So combining this would get you a possible answer. Also at architecture level the person is supposed to have to take into consideration, no just one part of the system but how the entire systems cooperates and operates. But there are of course other aspects as well, as oliver for example stated, he might focus on the core architecture/coding or he might be given a smaller part of the entire system he has some responsibility over. The main thing I would say is that he would have to have responsibility, partly or wholly, for something bigger than how to parse a response or writing a simpler client using some simpler protocol. tom > What exacly does a junior level Systems Architecture Developer normally > do? Fetching the coffee for the senior level systems architecture developer, looking important and talking sh.t about the latest fashion in methodology. >> What exacly does a junior level Systems Architecture Developer normally >> do? > > Fetching the coffee for the senior level systems architecture > developer, looking important and talking sh.t about the latest fashion > in methodology. :-) Arne Here is Job description - does this help? Mainly - is this a programming job? The Enterprise Components & Frameworks unit develops architectural strategy and best practices for system development involving new technologies and tools. The staff works with application designers to understand which architectural models best fit their needs and selects the appropriate vendor products, considering trade-offs among functionality, complexity, performance and cost. This area is specifically responsible for: * Architectural strategy for Java/J2EE development, .Net development, Portals and Grids * A repeatable, proven industrial strength set of application development frameworks (ex. STA4J-Java, STA4N-.Net, Portal, Grids) * Product support for vendor products and production support for enterprise application services & components * Project-level design, debug and performance Candidate will be a member of the STA4J-Java Framework team. Candidate will be a J2EE developer with a minimum of 3 years experience who can work with projects on a tight timeline and in a pressured environment. The candidate must be able to work with the developers to achieve a successful migration; have an understanding of MVC based framework and have the ability to work with developers on coding issues in the RAD 6 Java IDE.. Candidate must have a good working knowledge of Java capabilities and features. Responsibilities include coding assignments, documentation and assisting application areas with the adaption of new releases. Responsibilities also include the creation of training material, mentoring and marketing of the framework. Good communication skills and ability to work well within fast paced, team environment. Experience Required: 3+ years application design and development. Working knowledge of: Java; RAD6; WAS; MVC Patterns; JSF; XML and XSLT; Javascript; SQL; J2EE Enterprise JavaBeans; Java Transaction API (JTA); JDBC; JMS; J2EE Connectivity Architecture (JCA); J2EE; Java Web Services Other important skills: MKS; LDAP; J2EE Security Model; (Resource should have a working knowledge of J2EE and WebSphere) > Mainly - is this a programming job?

[quoted text clipped - 39 lines] > Other important skills: MKS; LDAP; J2EE Security Model; (Resource > should have a working knowledge of J2EE and WebSphere) As I read it then it is not a programming job but it is a job for a programmer. As I read the person they seek will be responsible for selecting the tools and frameworks to use. This requires a good programmer to: - properly evaluate - support the developers in getting started with the stuff Arne Here is Job description - does this help? Mainly - is this a programming job?

It could be a system architect doing some actual development work. Or it could be a developer that develops architectural frameworks.
