Wikipedia's description of a Software Architect is pretty good, but in my opinion a great software architect also performs these duties:
- Mentor software developers to see the broader picture.
- Acts as a go-to person for technical decisions.
- Documents the architecture and sub-architecture of modules, so individual teams and developers get a clear understanding of how their software has to be organized.
- Reviews processes and code modules.
- Define the structure of API's and interfaces.
- Performs front-end requirement management duties. This is especially true for architects working with Software Product Lines.
- Often reviews 3rd party code and other companies in case or partnering or acquisitions.
