What does "IC" mean in this context?

Individual contribuitor. In most cases, this is roughly "people who write code."

Not strictly. Architects I think are generally considered ICs. An IC is basically anyone that doesn’t have people under them officially in the org hierarchy, even if they do thought leadership, like a tech lead or architect.

Individual contributors - as opposed to managers
