I received an offer for a "Senior Associate Software Engineer" role. What does 'associate' mean here?

Some web pages (such as [this question on programmers.se.com](https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/112694)) suggest that it means 'junior' or 'entry level'. Does it mean that I will be a senior among the juniors? :)

<sub>FWIW, I don't really care about the title, as long as the opportunity is interesting. I'm just curious.</sub>
