I am a Senior Software Developer. I first got a title with the word “Senior” in the mid-90’s, and since then I’ve had variants like Senior Software Engineer and Principal Engineer, but the work associated with those titles has been the same.
Like any developer, I spend most of my day designing, writing, debugging, and testing code. Sometimes I assist operations or support personnel with an issue, or directly assist a customer with a problem. I am in meetings with management and customers. I provide help to other developers, both senior and junior.
As a Senior, I have more input and influence over team processes and other design than Junior developers do. I have served as a Team Lead a few times, but I really don’t like being a manager and prefer to be a Worker To Whom People Listen.
