Career Pathways (Illustrative)

This section provides a high-level view of technical career pathways at Calab.ai.

• Roles are shown by seniority only; this does not imply guaranteed or linear progression.
• From S3 onwards, technical team members may specialise into either the Architecture track or the Delivery track (up to S5).
• Role-specific requirements and evidence expectations are defined in the relevant Promotion & Performance Evaluation Workbooks.

Notes

• The Engineer track emphasises the continuation of deep technical expertise and specialisation in a narrow subset of technical areas.
• The Architecture track emphasises a broader understanding of different technical areas and how they connect together in solution design, risk, compliance, security, and architectural governance.
• The Delivery track emphasises delivery leadership, execution excellence, and customer outcomes.
