UX architect
Average salary: $117,290
The work: The UX architect is responsible for the conceptualization and layout of a website or mobile app in order to maximize the user experience. The job is a hybrid between designer and developer and requires skills in website design, programming (front and back end) and a solid understanding of user functionality.
How to get the job: It doesn’t hurt to have a B.A. or B.S. in Industrial Design, Human Computer Interaction or Human Factors, but what’s far more important is that you have a work portfolio that clearly shows your UX solutions to past projects and their requirements.
