I guess lying on your linkedin "senior swe" is also helpful for getting a staff engineer position?

Google submits your title and salary info to theworknumber, I would advise against this (and lying in general).

I never knew this existed. It's insane how much data this service collects, and that the data is available for sale just like that. What a nightmare.

Author here. They do, even most recruiters require this before submitting for some of these jobs. Most hiring managers also filter that out by behavioral interviews and seeing how you handle team work, large scale work, and discussion upwards and downwards. Especially the higher you go, the harder it is to lie to get through.
