I was once offered a job where I got to choose my own title, so I chose Sales Engineer. My response, when the contract said "Senior Engineer" was predictable enough, met with "you were serious about that? Titles don't matter here." They appear to matter quite a lot to the people making statements like that -- I made my employment conditional on being able to choose responsibilities and role, and ended up walking away.
