Don't worry so much about the role, just make sure you're working under/with someone who'll get the best out of you.

Having a good manager is the single most important factor to success and happiness at work.

(I've placed over 10k developers at 100s of companies, mostly startups)

Are you a headhunter? And if so, would you put your contact info here? (Don't feel bad. You didn't put yourself forward or advertise. I asked.)

I'm not looking at the moment. But I keep a file of headhunters for when I am looking...

Nope, built a leading recruiting platform. You probably have a profile already.
