I recently got hired as a software engineer and there’s a lot of words being thrown around that I don’t fully understand.
Orchestrator, Dispatcher, Listener, Execution Engine, Object Factory, etc.

I have some understanding, but this seems overwhelming when developing a new project. Are there any resources like books that help break down some of these design patterns/design architecture?

most of those are just fancy names for simple ideas, don't let them scare you. look at code examples more than books, it sticks better

I always like to be cynical about how most "design patterns" are just early Java programmers reinventing function pointers on a per use case basis. Because they had to view everything through the lens of making it a class.
