Do you enjoy what you're doing? What do you want to be doing in five years?

If you like what you're doing then figure out how that might play into
what you want to be doing in five years. Use that job title as long as
it's close. "systems programmer" if you want to go deeper into the OS,
or "DevOps Engineer" if you want to work towards a broader skill set.
Or whatever.
