In my observation at my company, it can vary wildly. Some senior engineers are primarily organizers and communicators; others are primarily skilled programmers and software architects. I think it kind of varies with what you personally like to do, and what you personally are good at doing.
Hmm I see. At my company the seniors who did not dropped out became POs (product owner). Given we barely have developers with 5 > years in house I can say that most seniors here are organizers and communicators too.
