As someone not in tech, I have no idea how to refer to my tech friends' jobs (lemmy.world)

A few more titles that you will hate, but actually describe your role. You are in no sense just a senior developer.

You are an

  • Architect
  • Solution Architect
  • Project Manager and Team Leader
  • Service Manager

Which one fits best, you have to decide. But i would put this up on my resume if i had your responsibilities.

Yeah, I struggle with that.

  • I’m not allowed to be called an Architect because the Lead Architect only allows product people in the role, however I’m equivalent rank.
  • I spend way too much time doing project management, but I despise that
  • I don’t lead a specific team or have people but I set requirements for engineering and sometime borrow people from teams
  • I’m in the Quality Engineering organization but don’t do QA
  • some people think I’m a Build Engineer, and I do set some of their requirements
  • some think I’m AppSec, and I do try to fill their gaps and apply their work to the organization.

Recently, maybe DevSecOps sounds most accurate, and I avoid talking rank so I don’t piss off that Prima Donna

It's not a huge project (3-4 devs, including myself), there's simply not enough to do for a dedicated architect. PM and SM are done by dedicated roles, but as a lead dev, I obviously have to play translator quite a bit.
