The English name "Software Engineer" isn't protected in German speaking countries, but their German equivalents are:

- The German equivalent would be "Diplom-Informatiker" (which roughly translates to "certified computer scientist"), which you're awarded after completing a graduate degree/MSc in Computer Science.

- In Austria you'd be awared a "Diplom-Ingeneur" instead, so a "Diplom-Ingeneuer in Informatik/Software-Entwicklung" would be a "Certified Computer/SW Engineer".
