5 years is extreme but it's still better than inflating titles.

SDE II is L3 and SDE I is L2, there used to be L1s for people fresh out of college, not sure they hire that level any more. I’ve seen L3 hired from outside with much longer yoe than 5 especially recently. That being said, title is different everywhere, so you may need more info like pay band, scope to know if it’s Junior or not.
Thats just one posting.
