Senior Technical Architect
Posted Apr 19
The Technical Architect is both a technical story crafter and an automation engineer, supporting specific customer engagements as well as the broader Field Services team. When working directly with a customer they turn unique requirements into compelling demonstrations of the GitHub platform. They act as a force multiplier for the broader Field Services team by turning industry and technology-specific use cases into compelling, reusable technical demonstrations.
