A Senior Engineer is a leading technical contributor who can consistently take a poorly defined business or technical problem, work it to a well-defined problem / specification, and execute on it at a high level. They have a strong focus on metrics, both for the impact of their work and for its inner workings / operations. They are a model for the team on best practice for software development in general (and their specialization in particular), including code quality, documentation, DevOps practices, and testing, and consistently mentor junior members of the team. They ensure robustness of our services and serve as an escalation point in the operation of existing services, pipelines, and workflows.
