What do the seniority levels mean on Get on Board?

In Get on Board job postings, you will see a seniority level. If you are hiring, it helps you describe the autonomy and scope of the role. If you are applying, it helps you check whether the expectations match how you work today.

What each seniority level represents

1. No experience: Needs close supervision, is still learning the basics, and cannot lead or be the only person in the role.
2. Junior: Works with more senior teammates, needs frequent reviews, can learn independently, and can explain their work.
3. Semi-senior: Delivers features or projects with a team, works with minimal supervision and periodic reviews, and proposes solutions within their scope.
4. Senior: Works without day-to-day supervision, reviews others’ work, coaches teammates, and can lead a small team or a complex project.
5. Expert: Leads large, multi-layered teams, defines company-wide strategies, and tackles the highest-complexity problems.

How to choose the right level

1. Focus on autonomy and scope more than years of experience.
2. Match the level to the responsibilities and impact you list in the job posting.
3. If you are a candidate, apply when the day-to-day expectations match your current experience, not just the title.
