> I was interviewed by someone who had only been in the industry for 3 years and at the company for 6 months and not a senior and told me I wasn’t qualified enough for a senior position because they couldn’t follow my explanation

I am glad I am not the only one this has ever happened to. I honestly felt bad for the junior being forced to fly solo and I was thankful I didn't get a callback because I can't imagine the kind of org that does this to the juniors and candidates.

It was just bizarre to get that as feedback from the hiring rep since I was a referral. The hiring rep knew I was experienced, the rest of the interviewers had nothing but good things to say. The hiring team has a weird “if one person votes no then it’s over for you” but no one could defend the logic of it: “most of us think the candidate is qualified except this junior dev”

That tells me the hiring team just votes on a candidate with 0 discussion. Indeed not a healthy work environment.
