name: IC roles are interesting too description: Do not auto-skip individual contributor roles during job triage - evaluate them if they fit the profile type: feedback ---

IC (individual contributor) roles are interesting too if they fit the profile. Do not auto-reject based on "not leadership/management".

Why: The user's profile spans both leadership AND deep technical work (300k lines of production code at SAP, architecture, platform engineering). Senior IC roles at the right level and salary are valid targets.

How to apply: During job triage, evaluate IC roles like Principal Engineer, Staff/Senior Architect, Solution Architect, Lead Data Scientist, Senior AI Engineer, Field CTO, etc. if they meet the CHF 150k salary floor and are at a senior enough level. Only skip IC roles that are clearly junior (< 5 years experience), purely coding-focused with no strategic component, or well below the salary threshold.
