Hi all - I’m a journalist writing a piece about the rise of “engineering”-style job titles outside traditional software roles (e.g. growth engineer, UX engineer, content engineer etc.)

I’m interested in hearing from people who have moved into roles like the above,, and understanding your thoughts on the following -

- Does the title actually reflect what you do day-to-day, or is it mostly a rebrand of an existing role?

- Has your work become more systems/data/automation-focused over time?

- Has it affected how your role is perceived internally (e.g. status, credibility, pay, reporting lines)?

- Do you feel like the title “engineer” signals something specific to employers now?

Also very happy to hear from people who don’t have “engineer” in the title but feel their role has become more technical/system-oriented. I won't be quoting anyone directly without permission, but if you'd be open to sharing any thoughts, please feel free to do so below or ask any questions. Thank you in advance!
