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.
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.
