You'll find that roles at companies differ greatly from the archetype portrayed by academia. Engineer is such a broad term you'll find some engineers coding full-stack applications themselves. Or you'll get the other end of the spectrum: an engineer who architects the stack -- but isn't involved in the implementation because their team handles it.

It all depends how you choose to brand yourself. Saying engineer instead of developer carries different connotations, so just stick to whichever one fits you best.
