Take the top 10% of engineers in your organization. They are the ones where the technical buck stops, the ones with the deepest technical and business domain expertise, the ones that define and drive the hiring process, the ones that drive changes that impact many teams, the ones that set the cultural tone for the rest of the engineers. It doesn't matter what you call them, they've always been there and always will be. Unless your engineering org is not run by engineers, in which case, you should join a company that has staff engineers :)
