Technically strong
Can build, debug, architect, and operate real systems.
The Senatio Engineer
A Senatio engineer is expected to understand more than the code in front of them. They need to understand why something is being built, how the surrounding operation works, which constraints actually matter, and what must happen for the result to survive production.
Can build, debug, architect, and operate real systems.
Understands users and outcomes rather than blindly implementing specifications.
Understands what happens before and after the software.
Can work directly with technical and nontechnical stakeholders.
Does not require every decision to be preprocessed by someone else.
Success means the system works. Not that the Jira ticket is closed.
