The engineer others come to: owning systems, reviewing code, designing services, mentoring, and still shipping. Reached from software engineering after several years, usually at a product company or a large services firm. Java, JavaScript and web fundamentals are the skills the graph sees at this stage, and Bengaluru is the most common location. The next move splits: engineering management, or staying technical; the graph also sees plenty of moves back to plain software engineering roles when people change companies.
