Software architects are often high-value hirings who are required to keep track of and drive various development projects. Leading projects may include responsibilities like developing a team of engineers capable of handling required tasks and also assigning said tasks. Apart from team building, a software architect may also need to manage responsibilities related to creating project timelines, taking charge of cost analysis, and related budgeting functions. So, when hiring software architects in 2023, try to find professionals with previous experience in taking up related responsibilities.

2. Project documentation skills

Developing thorough documentation of the development process and services is a vital responsibility for every software architect.

4. Ability to negotiate with development

Negotiations related to software development processes are one of the hardest and most important skills a developer should possess. While it can take a few years to master development-related negotiations, always try to look for professionals with experience in the niche. Software architects often need to invest time in understanding project requirements to make certain calls in order to negotiate different aspects of the project. Taking calls on architectural or non-quality trade-offs will be a repetitive requirement for which strong and informed negotiations are vital.

5. Strong collaborative approach

In 2023, developing tech services and solutions require a lot more than just software skills. The ability to collaborate with internal, external, offshore, or cross-functional teams is one of the most crucial aspects one needs to be aware of. Software architects in today’s world must show confidence in their abilities and also actively take part in collaborative work cycles to ensure continuity and streamline development processes. So, when looking for a specialist, especially remote software architects, try to find professionals showcasing strong collaboration skills.

6. Ability to communicate confidently

Communication is one of the pillars of the tech industry enabling professionals to take their collaborative expertise to the next level. From enabling teams to brainstorm to find solutions to conveying vital information to new joiners and executives about progress and development cycles, a professional Software Architect must be open enough to communicate with different teams with ease. So, try to hire software architects who display efficiency in interpersonal skills with technical prowess.
