    Often the lines between these two roles get blurred. So, which role describes you best, are you a software engineer or a software developer?

    It reads more like the difference between senior/junior to me, but YMMV

      I'm an engineered developer. Seemed like a good place to hide from the rest of society's social engineering.

          Engineer is (or was) a protected term in Australia, so I am a software developer because I do not have an engineering degree.

              Both, and throw in any other IT related roles that go into running a small software company such as server/hw management, asset management, security, customer support, etc.. :laugh: When someone asks, I just say that I 'do software'.
