Walmart Labs SE Levels
Can anyone provide info on what each Software Engineering level at Walmart Labs means in terms of years of experience, or how they map to Amazon/Google/FB levels? From what I can tell at Walmart Labs, these are the levels: Software Engineer I (not sure this exists, SEII looks like entry-level) SE 2 SE 3 Sr. SE What would be appropriate for an L5 at Amazon (SDE II), or E4/L4 at FB/Google?
SWIII is entry level, Sr SE PhD or MS+3, Staff is 6 -10Y , Principal is 8+. L5 can be staff or principal based on interview. Principal at WalmartLabs have moved as Staff / Sr at G and FB .
Lol Walmart labs people being architects at google. Good for them.
You sure? If SE3 is entry-level, what exactly is SE1 or 2? The job listings for SE3 say BS+5 years or MS+3. Looking on LinkedIn, most SE3s there had 3-7 years experience prior.
Agreed! The quality of talent at Walmart Labs can surprise you sometimes. No wonder you have so many current employees of Google FB Uber Airbnb etc that were previously at Walmart Labs. Also Pinterest hired Labs CTO as their Head of Engineering!
A few teams a really great. They use Scala, elk, keep the code good. Entire Walmart orchestrator is 10k loc with only 1 real line per class. Amazon relies on apps and stuff that's easy to render, Walmart labs has to render the full page. Majority is crap though, only the important teams are good.
Not sure what you are smoking my friend. Scala/ ELK etc are tools and would change. Talent has nothing to do with tools but everything to do with attitude and ability to have a bigger impact. Code quality and design is one of the many measures of quality engineers. It reduces overhead and enables others to write code that scales with changing requirements.
It's a start at least, it's better than graphite or php or whatever.
:-). Let’s shun FB because it is heavy on PhP ...
Look at the salary and shift if it’s 15% or better. Forget about the levels and your salary will take care of it
