One would hope your company would be making these investments in you. As a developer at [Large well-known software company], after my first year I started being given leadership roles in minor stories, then major stories, then epics that breakdown into major stories. If the company you work for is not giving you growth opportunities, one might begin to wonder how they picture your future. Side note: "Software Architect" as a role sounds way too Waterfall to me. People should have varying skills at design, and work together to build the best thing they can. Not have an Architect who claims omniscience and designs the whole project up from.
