• Staff Engineers mentor others by stewarding some responsibilities to more junior and senior engineers so they can take on new ones
• They collaborate with management on building team consensus and providing direction
• Staff Engineers identify gaps and opportunities for improvement to enable a culture of inclusion and allyship, at all levels of the organization
