Besides having greater development experience and more raw technical skill than the average candidate, as a senior developer you must be particularly self-motivated and driven. You will frequently be driving changes and balancing trade-offs that your management is not well equipped to understand, and you will need to be able to explain and advocate for these. This means having a clear understanding of the goals of the project, and pushing the team to achieve those goals – not merely passively completing tickets assigned to you, but truly leading and participating in the process.
All candidates, but particularly seniors, are held to high a standard when it comes to communication, both oral and written. You should have good expository style, be able to explain yourself clearly and concisely, especially when the subject is technical and complex.
