"Expert Software Engineer". It's basically the same as a senior software engineer, but "senior" is quite overused and you get all kinds of people calling themselves senior. So my employer figured that as a contractor, we should be called "expert SEs" because the work we deliver is not comparable to that of the average garden variety "senior developer". Similarly, we have "Professional SEs" and "Advanced SEs" instead of "junior SEs" and "SEs".
