In North America at least, the term is Professional Engineer. PEs are generally licensed in a way similar to doctors and lawyers. At one point there was a push to professionalize software engineers, but it never got very far.
Feel free to call yourself a software engineer (or even a software doctor). The titles aren’t controlled and as a result don’t really mean anything.
