🚀 SUMMARY:
What do senior software engineers do? Great question! They do alot and they are responsible for keeping software teams together and working productively. They do alot of coding, but they also review pull requests, collaborate with product managers and organization leaders, and are generally the ones engineers on a team look to for help.
