If you can’t show me you’re a senior+ engineer, then I’m not going to hire you for a senior+ job. It’s as simple as that. You can ace the technical interview, but if you can’t tell me why I should choose YOU over every other candidate that aces the technical interview… why shouldn’t I pick one of those other ones?

It translates into being able to get sell innovative projects to stakeholders, to learning new things, to understanding business requirements. Maybe I’m wrong, but I’d love to hear why or how.
