Sr. Engineers take ownership over a whole product (e.g. an entire application, or suite of services). In addition to delivering solid and maintainable software, they understand company dynamics and good process.
Senior engineers often wear an additional “tech lead” hat. This means they take on the (thankless) work of project management and process oversight. They keep the trains running on time.
