Our titles are developer. But, it's just a title. I think an interviewer is going to look at software developer and software engineer on a resume as being pretty similar. They need software, and you can create it.
I don't find it particularly interesting or valuable to gate-keep the term "engineer". If I'm looking for a mechanical engineer, I'm not going to get that role confused with a software engineer or electrical engineer (even a P.E.) or a custodial engineer. If someone told me they were "an engineer", without telling me what kind of engineer, I would assume they drove trains.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
