- Architect large data volume (LDV)solutions , including data archiving, data warehouse syncing (e.g., Databricks/Fivetran), indexing, and query optimization to avoid platform limits.

- Mentor and coach senior developers, analysts, and administrators, fostering technical growth, promoting cohesive engineering habits, and driving a high-performing team culture.
- Govern the DevOps pipeline and Release Management processes (utilizing Copado or similar), ensuring modern CI/CD branching practices, automated testing, and zero-downtime production deployments.

Architect Jobs in Tennessee: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a architect in Tennessee?
To become a licensed architect in Tennessee, you must earn a professional degree from a NAAB-accredited program, complete the required Architectural Experience Program hours, and pass all divisions of the Architect Registration Examination. Licensure is granted by the Tennessee Board of Architectural and Engineering Examiners, which oversees applications, renewals, and reciprocity for candidates already licensed in other states. Tennessee also accepts licensure by reciprocity for architects with a current NCARB certificate.
How much do architects make in Tennessee?
Architects in Tennessee earn a median of about $94,030 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $62,930 for the lowest 10% to over $146,290 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire architects in Tennessee?
Employers hiring architects in Tennessee right now include A2H, Amentum, and Deloitte, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Tennessee's growth in healthcare campuses, mixed-use urban development, and state infrastructure projects keeps a broad range of firms, from regional studios to national design practices with Tennessee offices, consistently adding architectural staff.
Which Tennessee cities have the most architect jobs?
Nashville, Memphis, and Brentwood have the most architect openings in Tennessee. Nashville's rapid commercial and healthcare construction boom drives the largest share of postings, while Memphis attracts demand tied to institutional and civic projects, and Knoxville benefits from university-linked construction and regional healthcare expansion that sustains a steady pipeline of both firm and in-house roles.
Are there remote architect jobs in Tennessee?
Yes, but they're limited. About 78% of architect openings tied to Tennessee are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting the hands-on, site-dependent nature of most architectural work. The roles most suited to remote or hybrid arrangements tend to involve schematic design, BIM production, and specification writing rather than construction administration or client-facing project management.
How can I get hired as a architect in Tennessee with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is an architectural intern or designer role at a mid-size Tennessee firm while completing your Architectural Experience Program hours toward licensure. Firms like Gresham Smith and regional healthcare-focused studios in Nashville and Knoxville regularly hire recent graduates for production and documentation roles. Building proficiency in Revit and assembling a strong portfolio of studio or internship work gives candidates a clear edge, as does pursuing LEED Green Associate accreditation, which is increasingly valued across Tennessee's institutional and commercial sectors.
Where can I find and apply to architect jobs in Tennessee?
You can find and apply to architect jobs in Tennessee on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings tied to Tennessee employers and firms. Find roles that fit your experience, specialization, and preferred location, then apply directly to each position.
