Middleware software helps a computer network connect an application to the cloud or another operating system and diversifies computing by increasing the methods by which systems communicate. A middleware architect is an expert in utilizing this software. In this role, you evaluate your company's current network to find connectivity issues or gaps in communication. Once your analysis is complete, you design a plan that outlines how the company's network should use middleware and implement your changes or updates. You may also be responsible for monitoring the system to fix any bugs and ensure it runs smoothly.
