An engineer can assume the developer role. Without need for the “big picture”.Īn engineer designs and plans. Their talents often focused to a single area. Jason McCreary puts it short as well: DeveloperĪ developer executes. Following the entire SDLC of the product. An Engineer understand the 'big picture' and 'client requirements'. To paraphrase an developer focuses on the coding in a narrow scope. Software Engineer Insider has a great (but short) article discussing the differences. If you know what it comes from I would like to know. We now have two examples of how the architect is distinct from engineer and developer so let's clarify the differences between those two next. Where as engineer and developer are closely related. So according to Wikipedia the architect makes high-level design choices, sets standards, and picks the tools. Other job titles which are often used with similar meanings are programmer, software analyst, and software engineer. Software engineer - WikipediaĪ software developer is a person concerned with facets of the software development process, including the research, design, programming, and testing of computer software. Prior to the mid-1970s, software practitioners called themselves computer programmers or software developers, regardless of their actual jobs. Software architect - WikipediaĪ software engineer is a person who applies the principles of software engineering to the design, development, maintenance, testing, and evaluation of computer software. Lets append 'software' to each term and see what the mighty Wikipedia gives us:Ī software architect is a software developer expert who makes high-level design choices and dictates technical standards, including software coding standards, tools, and platforms. 'Developer' describes the person's state, whereas the other two describe the person's actions. So we have Architect (computing) that means to 'design or make', an Engineer who 'design and build', and finally a developer who grows or matures at a specific time/rate. a chemical agent used for treating photographic film to make a visible image.a person who grows or matures at a specified time or rate."I was a slow developer".a person or thing that develops something."a property developer".1.design and build (a machine or structure)."the men who engineered the tunnel".1.a person who designs, builds, or maintains engines, machines, or public works.synonyms:designer, planner, builder, architect, producer, fabricator, developer, creator inventor, originator, deviser, contriver, mastermind"the structural engineer's drawings".1.design and make."few software packages were architected with Ethernet access in mind".
1.a person who designs buildings and in many cases also supervises their construction.synonyms:designer, planner, builder, building consultant, draughtsman"the great Norman architect of Durham Cathedral".Some would say the differences are semantic, some say pedantic, some say titles are a waste of time, I say it matters, and there is a difference.
