What is the difference between a software engineer and a software developer?
I have interest in the software industry but I would like to have some clarification on what sets these two careers apart. #software-engineering #software-development #software-industry

Depends. Often (most?) times there's 0 difference. Google's job title is Software Engineer, while up the coast amazon has an identical position called Software Development Engineer. This is almost identical to Microsoft's position for SDE, though not quite because MS (unlike A and G) also hire explicit software architects.
But at the end of the day, usually software engineer and software developer mean the same thing.
Thank you!

Yes i agree with above comments from Adam and Daniel. There is no real difference. It is just a job title how the companies manage this.
Thank you!

There is no difference. They are synonyms used for the same essential job (writing and modifying software).
It's a great, high-paying job. If you have the aptitude (logic applied for hours, focus on user experience), the sky is the limit.
Thank you!
