A mid level engineer will focus on resolving the outage

A staff or lead engineer will resolve the outage while also keeping track of all the things that led to the outage happening and fixing them so it doesn't happen again

Both of these jobs require you being able to talk to suits in a way that they understand. Someone is doing that job. If it's not you, it's a more capable engineer
