Unfortunately the title "architect" becomes the new "manager". It is used inflationary:

  • solution architect
  • business architect
  • enterprise architect
  • platform architect
  • cloud architect
  • cloud platform architect
  • technical architect
  • devops architect
  • security architect
  • cyber security architect
  • microservice architect
  • domain architect
  • infrastructure domain architect
  • domain architect technology & architecture

...and of course our beloved "software architect". None of them is a product of my fantasy - just google them and you will find job offerings for all of them. Worst of all: the specification of these roles is different in each company.
