I'd take it a few steps further. Change "Junior" to "Bootcamp graduate" and "Mid-level" to "Junior."

If there is anything even close to linearity between the "levels" of software development proficiency, then "Will understand code found on the Web before even thinking about copying & pasting code." is not equidistant from senior engineer as it is to "Might copy & paste code from the web (such as Stack Overflow) without understand it, if it just works"

Being a Junior developer should be a proud accomplishment, not a title for what you can buy for $10k and sitting in a classroom for a few weeks.
