Being senior to me means to transcend the purely technical challenges of development and go above and beyond them, both for yourself and your team.

Do you mind elaborating a bit? In what sense would you say you go above and beyond the technical challenges?

Above the technical challenges are the challenges to help other developers and teams develop themselves. Beyond them are the challenges of connecting with other parts of your company, eg sales, to learn more about the challenges the technical challenges are embedded in.
