A Systems Architect typically develops complex computer systems for a variety of organisations across many sectors. They bridge the gap between hardware and software, understanding the needs of both, to design efficient and effective systems. This involves detailed planning, initially conceptualising the system and then creating a practical blueprint for its development. Systems Architects often work within a team of IT professionals and liaise with stakeholders to meet business requirements. They also take responsibility for integrating new systems into company operations, ensuring smooth transitions with minimal disruption.
