Think I'll apply for the SH KNOWLEDGE EXTRACTION ENGINEER post:
Descriptif du poste
We are building an ontological model of all the things which are bought and sold on eBay.
Towards our goal, we are working on constructing the product ontology (persistent knowledge of products and how they are connected), extracting the attribute genome of products & their relationships.
We are also building a large scale data store and processing platform to support our work.
Common tasks of the job include, but not limited to, developing classifiers and knowledge extraction algorithms to extract knowledge & information from the documents, designing graph computation algorithms to connect things & propagate information, training classifiers, building the UX demo prototypes to drive backend development, and all related large scale data mining and machine learning work.
Location could be San Jose, San Francisco, Portland, Austin or NYC.
What the heck does all that jargon mean?

Clearly, it is etymologically related to programmate, programmation, programmatism, programmatistic, programmatistically, &c.
Clearly ... 
I remember the first time we were asked at work to compose a mission statement to differentiate us from other schools. Eh? All state schools are trying to do the same thing, surely. I may have vocalised this rather scathingly. It did not go down well. 
Time spent on such things is time away from the actual job, IMV.

I'm 100% with you on that. Mission statements are a curse in my experience too. My own view is that is the job of whoever is in overall charge to come up with a good one (if they can) or leave it alone if they can't.
A couple of good ones I have seen in the past:
A military unit: "When we fight, we win."
A stud farm: "Winning is in our blood." (very clever).
I am willing to bet neither of those were created by 10 people in a room for a whole day with a flipchart. For a start, they don't contain words like "excellence", "world class", "leadership", etc. (yawn).
