I agree. I have only developed software for multinationals and did a stint of short term freelancing for same. Titles are important within orgs but don't really translate across them, in my opinion.

The compliance seems to rely on you not making mistakes or taking malicious actions, which doesn't really qualify as compliance IMO.

Compliance involves encryption at rest and in transit and with cloud providers making sure you only use HIPAA compliant services, getting BSA’s with external contractors, minimizing who is allowed access to data, etc.
It’s more complicated than this but this is a good overview.
I have a lot more influence over the technical/infrastructure direction of the company I work for now as “just” a senior developer than I ever had at my last company where I was officially the Dev lead with dotted line reports.
There to get anything done I had to go through layers of red tape. Where I am now, I’ll use my own discretion on whether I should let the manager know or do everything in the Dev AWS Account (or create another account), do a proof of concept and let them know. Most of the time I either get the okay or a few tweaks or suggested.
And before I get the replies from the infrastructure gatekeepers. Yes, I’m qualified to make infrastructure decisions and I’ve been browbeaten enough across three jobs to know about compliance issues (HIPAA in our case) inside and out.
