Do you think it ever makes sense to have a non-senior engineer "level" another engineer in an interview as senior. I'm a hiring manager and our interview team is having non senior engineers interview senior candidates for the coding round. I'm not sure how well I can trust someone's eval of a senior if they themselves aren't at that level yet

Interviewers should be at level or above when it comes to deciding if the person is a fit.

I would not have a more junior engineer assess a senior level engineer. I would, however, include the junior eng as a second so they could learn what is expected and involved in an interview situation.

As a senior engineer I would send the most qualified engineer (crazy, I know). Many senior engineers don’t have the specialized knowledge that may be required to fill that position. For example I specialize in software defined radio systems. Not sending me to an interview for a prospective employee who will be working with radio systems is a massive mistake. Just because you have a 4 on your title as opposed to a 3. Let’s use some common sense.

I agree with your sentiment. That’s just making people feel involved, doing a vibe check, not a true technical assessment of one’s ability. They’ll just go to wow factor immediately.

Whether you are a senior dev or a junior dev is more often political than it is a good assessment of someone's abilities in all areas
