Would you be surprised to see a 'senior big data engineer' title these days? > The idea that Time Warner already had a sophisticated Web division smells like BS to me the title 'senior' doesn't imply the division was sophisticated. If something smells like BS, doesn't mean it can't exist. There is a lot of BS around.
