What is my Job Title

benjaminadk - Dec 31 '19 - - Dev Community

So I have a degree in Software Development and had been working part-time designing and developing, mostly JavaScript SPA, websites for small businesses and individuals. I was working on a portfolio and hoping to land a full-time gig as a JavaScript(React/Node) Developer but I had trouble due to lack of professional experience. Funds started to get tight so I expanded my job search and ended up working for an eCommerce site. Here is information about the job.

  • WordPress w/Woocommerce - site not developed by me - I like JS, learning PHP now though
  • I do tweaks with CSS, configure settings/plugins report to a off-site dev with problems questions
  • I designed a system to acquire/store/manipulate/transfer data
  • I FTP or web scrape for data
  • I keep master spreadsheets in Excel - most time is spent in Excel
  • I take the raw incoming data and processes it into lots of (maybe 50) properties
  • lots of formulas to manipulate data - product linking, attributes for filtering/searching, too many product details - most thought provoking part of job - vlookups, index, match all day
  • keep product up to date, accurate - 150000 total products last I looked
  • download images optimize/size them with photoshop - automations for various views
  • upload image to image server

This wasn't exactly what I was expecting and I am the only tech person in a small office. I am hesitant to just put Data Entry, although that is what I do - for some reason my ego says my job is more technical than that - if its not I can probably accept that. I know I am not a web developer in this role - part of me wishes I went down the WP/PHP route after I found out how much they paid for site design. Maybe I am a Web Scraper, but that sounds kind of weird and doesn't really sum it all up.

Please chime in. Thanks in advance.

UPDATE

My boss is hilarious. He said I can call the position whatever I want and he has my back. We did entertain Ecommerce Data Management Specialist for a little bit.
