There's no technical difference. Titles are used in corporations to separate pay grades and hierarchy, so a "Software Engineer" might be higher up the food chain, but they do the same work. I keep saying we need a real engineering discipline in software and not the "arts & crafts" it currently is. A real engineer can tell you whether a steel beam will support a given load; a software developer has no clue what load her software supports.
