What is Michael's job title for the afterlife neighborhood?

Michael's job title for the afterlife neighborhood is architect. He is introduced as the designer and supervisor of the neighborhood where Eleanor, Chidi, Tahani, and Jason supposedly enjoy the Good Place.

The title sounds benevolent at first: Michael appears to be an otherworldly planner responsible for creating homes, arranging relationships, and managing the neighborhood's supernatural conveniences. He also has a fascination with ordinary human details, including paper clips, cars, and other mundane objects.

The major complication is that Michael's role is not what it first appears to be. The season-one finale reveals that he is actually a Bad Place demon running an elaborate torture experiment disguised as a paradise. His title remains “architect,” but the neighborhood's purpose is initially to torment its residents psychologically rather than reward them.

Later, Michael changes sides and genuinely helps the humans improve. The word “architect” is therefore easy to confuse with the Judge or the Doorman, but those are separate afterlife roles. Michael designs and runs the neighborhood; he does not decide who deserves entry or guard the passage between realms.
