So I'm being given one of those somewhat meaningless software developer promotions. The kind that come with a raise that you want and a title change that is mostly there because the pointy haired types think that a salary increase should come with a title change. Our CEO asked what title I thought I should have and I don't have a good answer for him. I currently go by "Lead Engineer", but have outgrown it a bit. I need something that basically says I manage developers (but not at the director or VP level), do software design, and still do some actual coding (we are a small company so I do a bit of everything technical). I can't come up with anything less convoluted than "Engineering Manager and Systems Architect". Is there a title that is traditionally used for someone that performs both senior engineering and some managerial duties?
