> It's similar to the way tech companies have a concept of a "terminal level" where it's considered fine to spend your whole career with no pressure or expectations to earn further promotions.

And who else besides Jeff Dean, enjoys such a distinguished role?

Terminal level is usually "senior software engineer" or the equivalent. Something that every competent engineer can reasonably be expected to achieve.

Senior dev is usually fine to stay at as long as you keep producing.

Amazon states that SDE-II is fine actually. I think that's just their way of keeping the bar for senior higher.
