Data Architect Duties and Responsibilities
The data architect’s duties and responsibilities may vary depending on the industry in which they work. Based our research of current job listings, most data architects perform the following core tasks:
Evaluate Current Data Systems Data architects are responsible for evaluating the current state of the company’s databases and other data systems. They analyze these databases and identify new solutions to increase efficiency and performance.
Define Database Structure Data architects define the overall database structure, including recovery, security, backup, and capability specifications. This definition provides a way for data architects to determine overall requirements for database structure.
Propose Solutions After analyzing, evaluating, and defining current database structures, data architects create and propose solutions to upper management and stakeholders. This often includes designing a new database and presenting it to interested parties.
Implement Database Solutions Data architects are responsible for implementing the database solutions they propose. This entire process includes developing process flows, coordinating with data engineers and analysts, and documenting the installation process.
Train New Users Since data architects are the experts in the new database solutions they design and implement, they make the perfect trainers for new users. They may also be responsible for training new data analysts and data engineers.
Data Architect Skills and Qualifications
Data architects should use logical and analytical thinking to come up with creative and innovative database solutions.
