How do you people, as a Senior engineer, put things such as:
Below are the elaborated points
On the team development part, I regularly mentor 2-3 engineers almost daily. Reviewing their design and code, unblock them. I introduced a document-first culture in our team as before; everything was a bit chaotic as it is a startup where everyone knew their modules but not others. No on-call process or SOPs. I led this initiative by creating 20+ documents myself related to high-level design, SOPs for engineers and others, etc.
On the engineering excellence part, I reviewed close to 150+ PRs last year, making unit tests mandatory, introducing db migration tools to the team, etc.
For the award, I got your point. Annual award: out of 18 SWE-3s in my company, three got it, including me. The reason was a bunch of high-impact projects + above points.
Team development and engineering excellence on your resume, or should I not mention them at all?
Can you expand exactly on what these mean? I'm also a bit confused as you mentioned daily activities (like leading stand ups?), and I agree that you can't really mention that.
When it comes to team development, I immediately think of mentorship. There are a couple of angles you can mention here:
When it comes to engineering excellence, I'm thinking more along the lines of commits landed/reviewed and the quality of that. This is hard to capture on a resume unless you have something concrete like "I was a Top 5% code committer in my organization". My code quality course dives into that: https://www.jointaro.com/course/level-up-your-code-quality-as-a-software-engineer/how-this-course-works/
Annual awards given? Again, should I even mention that?
I actually think this is fine, but you should mention the context of the award (i.e. what does it mean). A lot of awards have in-house terminology. Let's say you got the "Excelsior" award, something a recruiter won't understand upon reading it:

Edited the question and added pointers.
For the mentorship, you can show the metrics I mentioned before. If you want to get even better at mentorship, I recommend this: [Taro Top 10] Effective Mentorship And Growing Others
For engineering excellence, you can mention the unit tests and DB migration:
Document-first culture is interesting, but I can't come up with good numbers for it minus pages of documentation created. I would just further explain what it is on your resume and exactly how it made the sharing of knowledge easier.
For the award, I personally don't think 1 in 6 will look too impressive to a recruiter, but you can still add it if you want. I don't think it will hurt.
