Engineering competencies v2: a new suite of competencies are now available, view them here or read the FAQ to understand more about this change.

Job Families

In FT Technology we have several job families, which describe the different roles and available and suggest career paths that our staff members might choose to follow.

Engineering

Engineers at early stages are Individual Contributors (hands-on), and later have the option to pursue a People Management role or track. Engineers can switch tracks, but must demonstrate the competencies and experience necessary for a role. These are described in a combination of a Job Description for a particular role, and the Competencies for that role.

A diagram showing the different progression paths in engineering. Roles for Junior, Engineer, and Senior 1 are on a shared track which then splits. Senior 2 and Principal roles split into either Engineering Manager or Individual Contributor tracks. The Tech Director and CTO roles are after Principal Engineer in the Engineering Manager track.

Global Service Desk

Progression within Individual contributor roles can be achieved through the promotion process. Those choosing to pursue a People Manager role must demonstrate the competences and experience necessary, and complete a successful interview when a specific business need/role is available.
