Note: I wasn't trying to be snarky with the "scare quotes"...I saw this job posting on a mailing list, in which it was described as "technical lead", which seems more inviting and seems closer to the actual role and responsibilities, even if the official bureaucratic title is "IT Specialist" (which, maybe it's just me, seems inextricable from the connotation of "person who fixes the fax machine")

Edit: In the email, the sender says this:

> I think this position will be incredibly important in moving open data to the next level, you'd get to work with one of the creators of the open 311 standard, and you'd get to open untold amounts of information to the public.
