Part of it is the unclear definition that allows someone to say they are a coder+architect. Is it software architect? How much is it systems architect?
Some things I look for:
- Find someone who is always solving problems and building things to understand how they work, and how an organization works.
- Find someone who gets that the data is the system. If the individual doesn't have an ability to immediately want to learn the data, what it means, how it interacts in all its stages and the various outputs, you don't have a coder+architect who can put the small details together to come together down stream.
