Experience Technology Architect

Overview

The Experience Technology Architect (ETA) is responsible for designing and writing code, performing code reviews, developing technical documentation, and becoming a key contributor to their team and project. A ETA acts as a technical leader in projects, ensuring that the team maintains high performance levels, and builds and strengthens the relationship with the client.

The role may be responsible for the technical delivery of a small to medium-sized project or working as part of a larger team and owning one or more sub-systems.
