What are the expectations for senior engineers?

Senior engineers lead projects, make architectural decisions, mentor team members, and drive technical strategy. They are expected to solve ambiguous problems, influence beyond their team, and deliver high-impact work independently.

How many years of experience do senior roles require?

Typically 5-7 years, but impact matters more than tenure. Engineers who demonstrate leadership, system design skills, and cross-team influence can reach senior level faster. Some companies have IC tracks that go well beyond senior.

What is the salary range for senior engineers?

US: $150K-$250K+ base, $200K-$400K+ total comp at top companies. India: 25-60+ LPA. Senior is where the gap between average and top-paying companies becomes dramatic, especially with stock-heavy compensation packages.
