Can someone describe what a Staff+ is and how it compares to architect? I think I know but my employer doesn't have that position, or an IC track - it seems that everyone is an engineer, architect, or manager, and a few years ago anyway it seemed like Architect was the senior position to aim for if you didn't want to be a manager.
I'm an architect now but I don't code as much and I suspect I could add more value if I did more self-directed coding.
- Umofomia 5y agohttps://staffeng.com/ https://staffeng.com/ is a great resource on this. It describes Architect as one of the possible archetypes[1] of staff engineers, though staff engineers can take on other responsibilities as well. It's possible that the Architect track in your company is just simply their name for this role. [1] https://staffeng.com/guides/staff-archetypes https://staffeng.com/guides/staff-archetypes
