Database Architect Duties and Responsibilities
Daily job duties for database architects vary based on the amount of data they manage and the number of other IT professionals they regularly work with. These core tasks, however, are common despite those variables:
Create and Maintain Databases Database architects design new databases to securely store data, then maintain those databases to ensure that data remains safe and accessible. This also includes testing all database functions and features to ensure consistent and efficient operations.
Assess Data Needs Database architects review a company’s database needs and develop plans and programs to manage these issues.
Evaluate Database Components Database architects evaluate software, hardware, and computer networks as they relate to the database to check for bugs and other issues that may affect functionality.
Perform Data Cleanup Database architects clean up databases by removing excess and old data that no longer needs to be stored.
Design Database Applications Database architects create new database applications.
Back Up Data Database architects regularly back up data to prevent data loss.
Collaborate with Staff Database architects collaborate with system architects, information technologists, and other staff members regarding data storage practices, network operation, and other computer issues.
Database Architect Skills and Qualifications
Database architects need excellent computer skills and a high degree of programming knowledge to create and maintain databases and manage data. Employers look for candidates who display the following essential skills:
- Programming – database architects use multiple programming languages to design database applications, which requires excellent computer programming skills
- Computer skills – database architects use computer skills to work with multiple software programs, computer networks, and applications
- Analytical thinking – database architects use analytical skills to evaluate databases and database components
- Attention to detail – database architects study and examine databases for security, data flow, and functionality, which requires good attention to detail
- Communication skills – database architects collaborate frequently with other members of the IT staff, which requires good verbal communication skills
Database Architect Education and Training
Employers look for database architects who have a bachelor’s degree in information technology, engineering, computer science, or a similar field. Candidates who have a master’s degree in one of these disciplines are even more desirable to employers, though this is not usually a requirement of employment. Little on-the-job training is provided to database architects, who already have the skills and knowledge needed to perform the job’s day-to-day functions. However, many employers provide database architects with a brief orientation period during which they become familiar with the company’s data needs and existing database functions. This orientation period varies by company but typically lasts no longer than a few weeks.
Database Architect Salary and Outlook
PayScale data shows that database architects earn $112,816 annually. Software developers, who share some core tasks with database architects, earn $103,560 in median annual pay. Information from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that jobs in this field will rise 24 percent by 2026, a growth rate that is much faster than the national average. Database architects receive full benefit packages that include health, dental, vision, and life insurance coverage. Retirement options, paid vacation days, and sick days usually come standard in these packages as well.
