Woah there. "Team Leader" / "Team Member", please.

"Secretary of the Workers' Revolutionary Committee" was once popular, but has not yet, as far as I know, been applied to technology. Some high-availablity clusters vote to elect their leaders so that a defective primary can be deposed.

"Associate" is a popular weasel word for lowly-paid employees.

Kind regards,
