What do you mean by 'low level'?

Are you talking about a traditional Staff / Principal engineering role or something different?

Sorry for my lack of clarity, yes. Pure code and technical contribution, up to mentoring, as opposed to holding architecture summits, politicking, and the like. I've been pushed into management and socializing without regard to my willingness.
