Sorry, but what does IC mean?

Individual Contributor. ICs are not managers, or Team Leads, or any of people leading positions.

A friend described it to me once "a leaf node" in entire company structure - not a manager. I think it is a good description, also reason why saying "engineer" does not cover all ICs.

some people would say "Independent Contributor", which appears to be a level in some large corporations.
