From that page, I'm seeing 7 SWE levels from the sidebar:
- IC1 Software Engineer
- IC2 Software Engineer
- IC3 Software Engineer
- IC4 Software Engineer
- IC5 Staff Software Engineer
- IC6 Principal Software Engineer
- IC7 Sr. Principal Software Engineer
(This is on a desktop browser. Maybe you're only seeing 4 levels because you're on a mobile browser and the rest is cut off. Or maybe you indeed saw 4 levels and the site has been updated since your post.)
- ZephyrBlu 5y agoBy SWE I meant literally "Software Engineer", as in IC1-4 Software Engineer compared to Staff, Principal, etc.
- desdiv 5y agoI see what you mean now. Sorry for the misunderstanding. It's possible that they "bumped up" the intern and junior titles all into "Software Engineer" as a form of title inflation.
- wrs 5y agoIt’s very common to have just numbers for the first few SWE levels. It is a bit unusual not to have “Senior” for 4, but then again it is pretty self-evident from the number.
- Roritharr 5y agoWhat's the best way to figure out where you are on that scale as an outsider?
- qbasic_forever 5y agoIC3 or 4 looks like most senior engineers--i.e. you are now a force multiplier for your team. You are giving help, mentorship, advice, expertise, etc. more than you are needing it yourself. You're helping with important interview and hiring decisions.
