Maybe better recognition of data architecture as a specific domain would help. I'm a data architect, I have a specific set of skills to build and maintain data platforms, but when applying for jobs I'm very often finding myself in 1 of 2 situations.
1) I'm interviewed by software developers / architects, who expect me to have strong knowledge of software development patterns (like OOP patterns or microservices design in webapps). Well I know the basics but not at senior level. That's also not what's actually needed to design and implement a data platform.
2) I'm interviewed by data engineers, and I'm expected to show expert knowledge in data pipelines implementation. That's a lot closer to what I can do, but it's still not the core of my skill set, and it's a bit frustrating not to be judged on that.
