Software architect jobs not only ranked at the low end of the top 10 best tech jobs, but also took a similar slot on the overall Glassdoor list, coming in at No. 25. Meanwhile, the number of available software architect jobs only numbered 653, the smallest number among all the tech companies in this top 10 tech list.
"While we see less job openings than similar positions, such as software engineer, we're reporting there are more than 600 current openings for software architects, demonstrating this is clearly a position in demand. However, it's important to recognize that this job is more of a senior and technical role compared to software engineer, which is why there are more current openings for software engineers," Dobroski explained.
