Your job as a staff engineer involves going into a cross-team meeting and explaining in technical detail a given piece of work, thanks to which your/another team re-estimates a given ticket from 5 points to 1 point. Those 4 points of difference are your hard work, done over the course of a 30-60 minute meeting.
This is probably what people mean by "force multiplier".
