The Chief Architect is Trilogy’s most senior Engineering role and unlike most organizations where architects are consumed with non-technical tasks such as people management and meetings, our Chief Architects are focused solely on the most challenging technical problems.
One driver of Trilogy’s growth stems from acquiring a new software company each week and one of the exciting missions of a Trilogy Chief Architect is to own the quality of new releases for these companies.
