Amazon has long had a VP-level engineer track (Peter Vosshall was the first IIRC). Colm is very rightly one.

  Long in Amazon years. I departed five or six years ago and Senior Was the end of the road. Similar to how leveling a research scientist was voodoo.

    Positions past senior have existed much longer than 5 or 6 years at Amazon.

    That's not correct. There were Principal and higher engineers 13 years ago when I joined. 5 years ago, just EC2 had a fairly large number.
