It’s impossible to give a rational answer for this question.
There aren’t any general OKRs or KPIs for software engineers (or most roles in a business) because there’s no business where the raw work product of an individual is an indicator or result in and of itself, barring maybe primary or secondary production industry.
The business has objectives and the individuals in the business work towards achieving them.
Key results depend entirely upon the objectives of the business.
As far as KPIs go, a SWE in a 10-man startup might be evaluated based on getting the damn MVP out the door, while the same SWE in a 100-man startup may be evaluated based on the automation they implement which increases the speed at which their 20-person team can ship.
OKRs and KPIs are tools you can use as a manager to focus and direct the efforts of your team in the right direction. They’re not really an evaluation tool in and of themselves.
