This is largely semantic, and highly subjective, but to me "Engineer" implies more design, architecture, and planning (ie, meetings).
A Senior "Developer" would imply more day-to-day coding to me. Not that companies care what I think, of course.
Yeah, at this point "Engineer" and "Developer" are 100% synonymous in the industry.
It's true. I even live in a place where the "Software Engineer" title actually does require a special designation, and I'm a "Software Engineer", and I have no such designation, so there's that.
