不同工程師階層定義
Staff Engineer(or Principal Engineer or Tech Lead):
On the technical side, the biggest difference is a staff engineer is able to identify and solve a technical problem that few others can. Specifically:
- Be able to implement the hardest part of a system/product
- Be able to ship high-quality work with best practices, like proper testing, well-planned rollout, and monitoring
- Be able to lead the effort of setting the direction for the team, like new season roadmapping
- Be able to spot the biggest pain point of the system/product/org and propose solutions. A solution with a clear deliverable and milestones and could take multiple years to implement.
- Most importantly, in addition to demonstrate the capability of leverage XFN’s colleagues(DS/design/PM/etc..). Staff Engineer also should be able to assess & validate their outputs.
On the “People Skill” side, a staff engineer should:
- Be a strong communicator, in both oral and written form
- Be able to leverage resources that are not assigned to the team
- Be able to recruit and onboarding new team member, both junior and senior
- Be able to influence org’s engineering culture, like adopt latest/best coding practice

Senior Engineer
On the technical side, a senior engineer should:
- Be able to design, breakdown, and complete a project of a large scope with high-level productivity
- Proactively find problems of existing system/product without guidance and offer solutions
- Be able to lead a project with a small group of people, such as hosting weekly meetings, communicate with other partners in written forms
On the “People Skill” side,
- Make contributions to improve the engineering team. For example, activities like interviewing, or mentoring
- Be able to give on-point and actionable feedback to peers
- Be able to build X-teams and XFN relationships which will facilitate ongoing projects
Junior Engineer
On the technical side, this level’s engineer should be able to:
- Understand codebase and drive assigned request to improve it, such as migrating it to modern frameworks and adding missing tests
- Design well-organized code
- Independently complete medium to large features
On the “People Skill” side, there are not many requirements. The most important thing to demonstrate the capability of accomplishing tasks with other disciplines(design, PM, analyst).
