A senior engineer is responsible for working with the team to ensure JIRA cards are authored and representative of the engineering documentation. Completing the software lifecycle, the senior engineer is responsible for releasing their relevant software and ensuring the operational stack that runs their software is well maintained and stable.

In addition, the senior engineer should participate in the development process when not participating in other activities. This is to ensure the organization has a senior level developer available at all times for any given technology domain, as well as giving the senior engineer additional insight into the development process.

They are also responsible for prototyping new applications and technologies, to ensure that they are always ahead of the technological curve. Other responsibilities are special projects that may be assigned by the Director of Software or Software Product Manager relevant to the technical domain.
