> how is this a "senior engineer"? Is this a "they worked in the industry for 6 years and are now senior" type situation...

Yeah, this is the situation exactly, though I've known a few seniors that were senior just because they've hung around and not experience.

> what is your history and position in the company? It seems odd that you'd get completely ignored by this supposed senior engineer

Been with the company for over a decade at this point. I think I have a pretty good reputation generally. Someone sent me a "This is why cogman10 is the GOAT" message for some of my technical interactions on large public team chats.

Why I'm being ignored? I have a bunch of guesses but nothing I'm willing to share.
