Engineering Grading System at Devexperts

At Devexperts, we use the Grading System which:

Synchronizes engineering grades across the company,
Makes career levels transparent,
Specifies our expectations from engineering managers and individual contributors (engineers).

Here are some basic principles we follow:

Prove your skills first to get an upgrade.
Your hard skills set does not guarantee your level upgrade. Your impact on the project plays a much bigger role.
Different levels require different balances between skills.
No level downgrades.
It's an Employee's responsibility to showcase their achievements.
The best upgrade is the one that's evident to everyone.
Levels are cumulative. Each subsequent level incorporates the previous ones.
Ideally, the grading documentation should be reviewed more than once a year through recurrent one-on-ones.

These tracks are not dead ends. We offer a range of customized career development options to help you achieve your goals.

For Engineering Grades, there are the following main sections:
