Senior Software Engineer
AI Resilience Score
Your role has good resilience - AI will change how you work but not replace what you do.
For context: Nurses score 90 (highly resilient). Bookkeepers score 28 (low resilience). Most roles fall between 40-70.
Senior engineers are becoming more productive, not more replaceable
AI amplifies senior engineering capabilities — generating code faster, automating reviews, accelerating prototyping. But the judgment, mentorship, and system-level thinking that defines senior work is untouched.
