So, I definitely do a job.
They call me PO. I'm hired as a Software Engineer. My manager says I'm a Tech Lead for the "Product Operating Model." My principal SWE expects me to contribute to developmenf. My product manager expects me to be an expert on what we're making. The development team I was given has a strict adherance to Scrum. They call me a product owner.
The scrum guide expects me to contribute only in the product owner roles. That means I get to write up the backlog! But I also have to do code reviews. And I advocate for the business. I do not get to participate in development (conflict 1). I have so many meetings I dont know who is the SMEs on the product im building (conflict 2).
I looked up my job description one day. And it is so vague I can't argue it.
I refuse to go on a track for more promotions. This job is way too stressful because because there's a lot of things I can do, I just can't.
So, in my professional opinion?
Lying on your Resume might get you fired. But it also might make no lick of difference

Eh, it's too specific imo for a good pasta.

Weird. We let anyone participate in development. In fact, our lead support person contributes periodic PRs because it's faster for them to just fix the random things that bother customers than to have it go through the planning cycle sometimes.
Sounds like your team just sucks.
