I'm always fascinated by how many different job titles there are out there. I've a quite a few myself and I'd love to see what you actual title is and how well you think it relates to your work!
For me, I am a Level 3 Software Engineer. I focus on front-end development with React, but dip into Rails every now and then. I think this title is a pretty good representation of what I actually do, but I don't believe that there is a standardization around the levels - if someone knows of one, I would love to hear about it!
Have a great weekend folks!

Communications Director. My job is basically PR and Marketing, but I also handle pretty much all website related stuff, too.
My title is Senior Front End Developer. I think it's fairly accurate, although I've been learning a bit more about the backend side of things recently as well.
I am a software developer by contract
Officially, my title is Programmer, but I do very little programming. It's more indicative of where my skills lie, compared to my co-workers in my department, I believe.
it says "SENIOR CONSULTANT" in the Org-Chart, but I always add "Front-End" in Communication, since most other consultants are Java-Devs and Agile-Coach-Master-Owners.
I'm a software/product developer and Bug Queen.
Guess which one I created for myself and the company decided to roll with it :D
Front End Developer III, though most of the other devs just call me the "UI Guy" and think my sole purpose is to make things pretty.
I work in technology (not as a developer at the moment). The way my company handles it is interesting, I think. The engineers don't really have defined job titles since we need to be flexible. So, depending on what customer I am working with or who I am talking to I am either a Senior Systems Engineer, Senior Networking Engineer, or Cloud Architect. All of these match with what I do.
What appears in the company's internal site for my role is Web UI Developer and then Jr Adv. Which is kinda weird given that I'm currently on a project that has a bunch of PHP5 scattered all around even for the UI
When I applied for my job, it was for a PHP/MySQL Developer. When I signed my contract for it, it was PHP/Apex Developer (Apex being the language used in Salesforce). My colleagues found out a little while later I was good with .NET and just became a Developer.
Skip forward a few years, I became an Account Manager/Developer and a year after that, Lead .NET Developer.
The irony of my role is that while I do a lot of .NET development, I also am still doing a lot of PHP work, I do frontend and backend development, database design and I help manage our internal infrastructure.
I try and get involved with lots of business decisions too and I joke that my role should actually be Chief Operating Office.
Application Developer at my full time role. Founder and Developer for Amazon Seller tools Open Source Project
Depending on where you look in our system I am one of three titles. Software Engineer, PHP Software Engineer, or Software Developer.
In actuality I am a full stack software engineer/developer that also does some backend non-web systems work.
Software Test Engineer
, though I don't care for the extra weight engineer gives everything. I don't have an engineering degree and I have no clue how to pass an engineering interview with algorithms and Big O and stuff, so why am I an engineer?At least that denotes I automate things rather than just Quality Analyst which sounds more like clicking buttons. I tell the computer to click buttons for me. Totally different.
Just developer.
Depends on who you ask. In practice I'm the founder of my company. With my current main client/source of income I hold the role of a senior PHP developer. It's not necessarily a title I agree with because I don't think my knowledge is deep enough to be considered senior, nor do I think I am old enough/have been working long enough for it. But hey, they can call me code monkey for all I care 🤷♂️
