Phone interview with hiring manager followed by another software architect in the team. The interview itself was based on what was in my resume. The role for which I was being interviewed sounded very similar to a principal engineer role rather than a software architect role. What was most surprising to me was that the software architects did not interact or very rarely interacted with actual clients / customers using the products. I was told that they have "Project Managers" who interact with customers and bring in requirements.

Can you name one technology that you find fascinating and the company leading in that area?
