What is the software (non Salesforce) version of a solution architect? I'm very confused how non-technical people are often leading architecture/design. So many times I had a SA tell me (dev) to do something and how to do it, and expecting it to be done in their timeframe, not understanding the complexity of what they just asked. It's also frustrating that my input often carries less weight. Not sure why this seems to be universal across consulting (I've been on multiple projects/consultancies)

For other SaaS (workday, sap), it's called functional architect. In pure PaaS, it's business analyst

I'm sorry but that's not correct. He's taking about someone more technical, on the programmatic side, not less technical.

Generally a Software Architect or Technical Architect in my experience... But evnr the latter is used on the consulting side in a different way.
