What is your job title?

I'm always fascinated by how many different job titles there are out there. I've a quite a few myself and I'd love to see what you actual title is and how well you think it relates to your work!

For me, I am a Level 3 Software Engineer. I focus on front-end development with React, but dip into Rails every now and then. I think this title is a pretty good representation of what I actually do, but I don't believe that there is a standardization around the levels - if someone knows of one, I would love to hear about it!

Have a great weekend folks!

Communications Director. My job is basically PR and Marketing, but I also handle pretty much all website related stuff, too.

My title is Senior Front End Developer. I think it's fairly accurate, although I've been learning a bit more about the backend side of things recently as well.

Officially, my title is Programmer, but I do very little programming. It's more indicative of where my skills lie, compared to my co-workers in my department, I believe.

it says "SENIOR CONSULTANT" in the Org-Chart, but I always add "Front-End" in Communication, since most other consultants are Java-Devs and Agile-Coach-Master-Owners.

I'm a software/product developer and Bug Queen.

Guess which one I created for myself and the company decided to roll with it :D

Front End Developer III, though most of the other devs just call me the "UI Guy" and think my sole purpose is to make things pretty.

I work in technology (not as a developer at the moment). The way my company handles it is interesting, I think. The engineers don't really have defined job titles since we need to be flexible. So, depending on what customer I am working with or who I am talking to I am either a Senior Systems Engineer, Senior Networking Engineer, or Cloud Architect. All of these match with what I do.

What appears in the company's internal site for my role is Web UI Developer and then Jr Adv. Which is kinda weird given that I'm currently on a project that has a bunch of PHP5 scattered all around even for the UI

When I applied for my job, it was for a PHP/MySQL Developer. When I signed my contract for it, it was PHP/Apex Developer (Apex being the language used in Salesforce). My colleagues found out a little while later I was good with .NET and just became a Developer.

Skip forward a few years, I became an Account Manager/Developer and a year after that, Lead .NET Developer.

The irony of my role is that while I do a lot of .NET development, I also am still doing a lot of PHP work, I do frontend and backend development, database design and I help manage our internal infrastructure.

I try and get involved with lots of business decisions too and I joke that my role should actually be Chief Operating Office.
