Frankly, none.
Everywhere I know of the position of senior dev is defined solely by your technical expierence, and the screening in job interviews for non-technical skills are the same for junior or senior dev positions.
Perhaps a better question is what non-technical skills do I need to work well in a team (as a senior or junior dev), every developer needs to know how to listen to people with different expierence and teach others about his own, whether he's junior or senior.
- kabdib 10y agoThat's too bad. The senior devs I know are generally good with people: Making them better, working out differences, getting people on-board with solutions, helping one-on-one with things like code reviews and debugging sessions, writing design documents, finding and fixing bugs that aren't theirs. The list is endless. Oh, and they write code, too, generally lots of it.
- collyw 10y agoI generally find that less experienced devs are the ones writing lots of code. Personally I think more and write less of it (and it usually works better).
- Illniyar 10y agoActually in my expeirence senior deva are the less good with people (expierenced developers with good people skills often become twch leads. But thats really not the point I was trying to make. The point is that no senior dev is hired for or because of those qualities (at least from what I've seen)
