A senior systems administrator can and does write programs for automation, monitoring, configuration management, and all the little things that are not customer-facing applications.

I used to be able to use "senior systems administrator" as a short-hand for those skill sets, but about 2010 that stopped working.

Now I need to use "DevOps" as an imperfect substitute in the title; otherwise only junior people apply, even though the rest of the ad goes into the same depth about skills and abilities.
