At Sigma Computing, We're Doing Away with Engineering Titles
Blog post from Sigma
Sigma Computing has eliminated engineering titles from its internal systems and made levels private to foster a culture of high ownership and inclusivity, where all software engineers are simply listed as "Software Engineer." The company aims to empower employees to drive initiatives to successful resolutions based on merit and knowledge, rather than seniority or titles, encouraging open conversations and collaborative problem-solving. This approach aligns with their principles of nurturing ownership, promoting inclusivity, and valuing unique expertise, while still maintaining private levels for career development purposes with managers. By removing titles, Sigma Computing aspires to create a flatter organizational model that encourages curiosity, constructive feedback, and collective intelligence, believing this step aligns with their company ethos of "Smarter Together" and "Aiming for Greatness."
