Yeah almost certainly, especially the ones who made a career out of "copypaste from StackOverflow", which is most engineers.
But even the good engineers should likely be a little worried.

why would it be different for other people if you already said senior level is not writing code but planning things out?
is there something about planning that LLMs cannot do being your crux of the argument?
what do you believe about your jobs or function that you think will be immune from AI replacing you?
If anything it seems your role is not that dissimilar to those translating languages or business requirements.
I am struggling to see what it is about this planning you do that cannot be done by AI because it seems to me thats not where the moat is rather I find the middle man jobs to be the most vulnerable to AI immediately much more than people writing code.
Because at least someone is watching the outputs from AI and understands the code and can communicate it easily back to the stakeholders without the middle man gate keeping and applying their "taste".
I have a feeling that anyone in your shoes is going to be working with code soon or they won't have much to offer anymore to the business. A stakeholder could easily replace the middle layer with AI and even as a business owner myself I do not see any need to add any more humans at the layer anymore unless they write code.
