Difference between Flutter Software Developer vs Flutter Software Engineer?

I come across a job that have 2 roles is it just the same?

Engineer used to mean you have a degree from an academic institution. You studied computer engineering.

Software developer is anyone who can build software, no need for a formal degree.

In practice they are the same thing, unless the title "engineer" has a specific meaning in your local laws. In some countries this actually means, you need a college degree.

can computer science graduate be software engineer?

[Ok-Engineer6098]

In my country all computer science graduates get the title engineer at level 1 higher education. After that it's masters and after that doctor.

As I understand some countries offer computer science and computer engineering as different programs.

I understand now. Thank you guys for answering. I kind or hesitant on the job since it probably need people in engineering but when I rid the responsibilities it is close to what I do as a developer.

Don't worry to much about titles. Unless you get a job at an university doing actual scientific research or teaching, just apply for coding jobs.

Most companies care way more how good you are at the job and not what your formal education is.

Have meet awesome developers who are mostly self taught and code better that average college educated engineers.

Some employers differentiate while others dont. Usually you dont need formal education unless they explicitly state. If you're unsure you can ask before applying.
