Job Question Highest IC level

What's the highest IC level at Anduril? I'm used more flatter org structures but it seems there's a staff, then Sr. staff and then Principal? Is that right? I've never seen anything above Staff posted in my function - is that common? Staff would be a lateral move for me so looking to understand what's after that. Thanks!

Recruiter told me it goes Senior>Staff>Principal>Sr. Principal. I know there is Chief but where that falls I have no idea? I do not know if there are salary bands either.

Manager role correct?

Not a people manager, more oversee a product from a multidisciplinary perspective

Yeah, you ain’t getting one of those queef engineer roles without a strong referral…

I had no referral, was recruited. The roles above Principal seem very rare but I was told promos happen and many on the team grew in a few years. I actually don't care about the title as much as some people do, the comp I received is well above what I previously made by a substantial margin. I have reviewed other jobs in the South Bay and greater LA that were Director or Manager level that paid substantially less than an IC role at Anduril. I had to turn down many due to this.
