What level does "Principal Software Engineer" at Zalando map to in terms of responsibilities, as compared to Google/Facebook/Amazon/Uber? I get a feeling that the title maybe inflated. A Principal at Google would be a very rare L8, one per hundreds of lower-level SWEs. At Uber there were 2 Principals for 4000 SWEs. How does the ladder look like at Zalando? How many Principals are there per total SWEs?
Never heard of this company before
Zala what ?
Wtf is a zandle
Zalando has the naming scheme Senior SWE, Principal SWE, Senior Principal SWE and Executive Principal SWE.
it's a staff engineer level. for example, equivalent of E6 at Meta
Pays like Meta E6 too? :)
Not even close. Check levels.fyi for numbers (C8)
They are also rare here , i think for one domain they have 2,3 max principal engineers . People having 10+ come in this role and mostly they deal with intra team integration and solve the problem i saw there base pay max 155 k euro .
Where?
