| Conceptual examples (not looking to argue about the specific bar): Senior engineers will: * Design a significant project which lands with measurable customer impact * Demonstrate expertise in at least one core skill outside of coding (test infrastructure, SRE, security, accessibility, etc.) * Demonstrate leadership by either being a TL, owning and leading team pillar efforts (security review, etc.), etc. * etc. Mid-level engineers will: * Own either a small feature end to end or a significant piece of a larger design * Contribute to at least one non-coding pillar * etc. These generally have more areas and can be further granular such as "low-performing midlevel is X, satisfactory is Y, exceeding is Z" |
