Up to "Computational Administrator". Is there anything after that?

Reminds me of "Papers, Please".

I'm guessing Computation Executive might be the highest if it uses the position field. (Don't have time to see how this data gets used to set the title.)

Top job is Chief Technical Officer, but there's a (guessing bounds error) bug that causes it to stop valuing your work when you're supposed to be promoted from Computational Administrator to Screen Technician.

They always say that...

the bug is line 1486 of ui-generators.js

  <    if (jobTitlePositionIndex >= jobTitle.position.length) {

Unanticipated glitch ceiling in the HR autopromotion system, clearly.
