What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in architect jobs.
- Bachelor's or Master of Architecture degree from an accredited program
- Proficiency in Revit and AutoCAD for design documentation and coordination
- Active architectural license or documented progress toward ARE completion

- LEED accreditation or demonstrated familiarity with sustainable design principles
- Strong verbal and written communication skills for client presentations and consultant coordination
Tips for Your Architect Job Search
Tailor your portfolio to the firm type
Boutique residential firms and large commercial practices look for very different work samples. Lead with two or three projects that match the firm's focus, and annotate each one with your specific role, the program size, and the delivery phase you owned.
List your licensure status precisely
Many postings filter candidates by licensure. State whether you are a registered architect, an architectural intern, or ARE-in-progress, and list every state where you hold a license. Ambiguity here gets resumes skipped before a human reads them.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists architect openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Match your software stack to the posting
Revit, AutoCAD, Rhino, SketchUp, and Enscape each signal different project types. Read the required and preferred tools in the job description and mirror that language in your resume skills section, using the exact product names the firm uses.
Prepare a project narrative for interviews
Interviewers at architecture firms ask you to walk through a project from brief to construction administration. Practice a two-minute version that covers the design challenge, your decision-making process, any value-engineering moments, and the built outcome.
Negotiate scope before you negotiate salary
Project type, delivery method, and client mix shape your long-term career more than starting pay. Before accepting an offer, ask which projects you would own, what the firm's BIM standards look like, and whether you would have client-facing responsibility in the first year.
Architect Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most architects?
The companies hiring the most architects right now include CVS Health, JPMorganChase, and Amazon Web Services, with the largest share of openings in Texas, California, and Virginia, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Demand is concentrated in firms with active commercial, healthcare, and public-sector project pipelines.
How many architect jobs are remote?
About 78% of architect openings are fully remote or hybrid as of September 2026, with most of those positions skewed toward project management, specifications writing, and design review roles rather than production-heavy or construction-administration positions that require on-site presence.
How do you become an architect?
You earn an accredited professional architecture degree, complete the required hours of documented work experience through the Architectural Experience Program, and pass all sections of the Architect Registration Examination. Once you pass all divisions, you apply for licensure in the state where you plan to practice. Each state sets its own application requirements, so verify the specifics with that state's licensing board before you submit.
How do you get hired as an architect with little or no experience?
Focus on internship roles, junior designer positions, and firms that explicitly hire new graduates into structured project teams. Lead with academic work and any independent or competition projects in your portfolio. Emphasize software proficiency and the phases you contributed to in studio or internship settings. Smaller firms and design-build companies often give early-career architects broader exposure than large corporate practices.
What does the architect interview process look like?
Most architecture firms run two to three rounds. The first is usually a phone or video screen with HR or a project manager covering your background and availability. The second is a portfolio review with senior staff where you walk through selected projects in depth. A final round often involves meeting principals or partners and may include a brief design exercise or discussion of your approach to a specific project type the firm handles.
Where can I find and apply to architect jobs?
You can find and apply to architect jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience level, specialization, and preferred location, then apply directly to each one that fits.
