Homeownership reimagined for the 21st century.
The Staff Engineer is deeply technical and will keep doing much of what made them successful as a Senior Software Engineer: demonstrating ownership of code quality, leading projects, and writing software. However, those core tasks will start to move to the auxiliary, and instead be replaced with setting technical direction, sponsoring initiatives, injecting important technical context when necessary, and exploring uncharted waters. Staff work is when timeframes start to extend, and the constant write, test, ship, repeat feedback loop is replaced with long-term goals that may take weeks or months to materialize. Many engineers never make it to Staff level, and by taking on the role it officially pushes an engineer out of a pure individual contributor role to a role of technical leadership.
