Narrative:

Landed [runway] 24R and taxied bridge route; assigned taxiway B to hold short of [taxiway] right. Rolled past [taxiway] right and was told by ATC to now hold short of [taxiway] T. We did not see a lighted right taxiway sign facing us. Possible distractions were configuring for single engine taxi. Also ECAM eng 2 eiu fault annunciated after engine 2 shutdown. Found out later in talking to another flight crew in the crew bus who were taxing in behind us that they also did not see a lighted [taxiway] right sign facing the eastbound direction of taxi. They said they saw an [taxiway] right sign only visible from a northbound direction toward hangars. There may be a possible unlit or poorly placed taxiway sign.
