It depends on the type and size of the company you are working in. Most small companies (startups, or companies with less than 10-person teams) will expect you to have an overall knowledge of the whole development process. But if you work in large corporates or mid-to-large sized companies, your responsibilities will be very focused, and there will be separate teams/department handling each aspect of a development process.

Yeah, I work at a large company (16K+ employees) where the Engineering has specialised roles (Solutions Architect, SQA, DevOps Engineer, UI Architect) but we (especially in my team where most of us are Graduate Software Engineers) have a lot of full-stack people even at senior level. And a huge chunk of people seem to be T-shaped (either on FE or BE).

@lotd Well that just sucks
Do your companies have dedicated software / web architects / designers, or are most places just a group of developers who are also expected to do design and architecture work?
Do you have dedicated front end teams and back end teams, or are most places just a mix of people who do everything?
I'm asking this because im a junior dev being given a large project, mostly to head up on my own (!), where I have to do design and architecture work which I feel is completely out of my comfort zone, and I want to know if this kind of thing happens often? Are developers supposed to design specs, pick the tech to use.. etc.?
