You are an established leader in the technology community within Luko and/or outside. You are recognised for your deep knowledge in your core technical domain. You have proven yourself as a go-to-person for helping others with finding the best fit solution for the problems they are working on.

You have recommended yourself as a mentor and have consistently helped other engineers step up and grow successfully. You have a strong track record in owning, leading and delivering complex chapter-wide initiatives.

You are a recognised expert at Luko and you have a lot of freedom on the way you help the organisation. You are a trusted advisor to senior leadership on developing and executing technology strategy.

We still have some recommendations of areas that will help you continue your growth as an engineer and help you meet the expectations for a Principal Engineer.

As you are a senior professional, we expect you to pro-actively self-reflect and identify the specializations which will help you to achieve your full potential. Your professional growth manager (line manager) can be a great sparring partner for you when making your decision and development plan.

Every Principal Engineer has what it takes to be a Staff Engineer.
