United States
A senior software engineer typically has a background in computer science, web development, and/or engineering. A bachelor's degree in any of those fields is generally considered a plus, as is experience working in web development. Some abilities they might have are a strong attention to detail, an ability to multitask, and an ability to work independently and on a team. Senior software engineers usually work in an office. They may work with other people to complete projects, but staying focused and working alone is typical.
Knowledge and familiarity with web coding, such as Javascript, HTML, and CSS, are necessities. Another aspect of being a senior software engineer involves being able to lead a team confidently and efficiently. Being able to handle a lot of responsibility is important as well. Tasks may include design, maintenance, working closely with certain customers, listening to customers, and getting a feel for what they are interested in and what they specifically want. Senior software engineers usually work 40-hour work weeks and may or may not work overtime. Many times, this job can be done from ab office or at home. Many of the jobs that they take on will be contracts that can be somewhat flexible.

What is it like working as a Senior Software Engineer?
Senior Software Engineer in San Francisco:
"Cushy Comfortable and Fun."
Pros: I really love my job. Everyone is very casual and the environment is low-stress.
I go to work at 11, hang out and have snacks and solve interested problems all day.
I really like programming and so I'm lucky to have a job that lets me do it!
As I've grown in the organization, I've spent more and more time in meetings. They're good because they let me shape the direction the company is going and make important decisions, but sometimes I feel like I don't get any work done because I'm always in meetings.
There are occasional periods of crunch time when it's not as fun, but they're not usually more than a week every couple of months.
I'm also very pleased with my compensation.
Cons: I literally can't think of a single bad thing to say about it.
They really take care of us.
I'm planning on leaving after 3 years because I want to stretch my legs and travel, but I'm so happy with my job.
Senior Software Engineer in New York:
"Enjoyable if it's been your dream."
Pros: It's what I've wanted to do since late middle school/early high school.
Cons: There is a lot of incompetence and red tape, but that probably goes with all white collar environments.
Senior Software Engineer in Westminster:
"Should Be Able To Get."
Pros: I like having the opportunity to be given chunks of work to take ownership of.
Cons: The location in the suburbs isn't very exciting or bike commuter friendly.
