Choosing between similar roles

QA Analyst vs Test Engineer: the Analyst finds and strategizes (edge cases, bug investigation); the Engineer automates (test plans, coverage, browser runs). Bigger teams benefit from both.
Review Agent vs Security Engineer: the Review Agent is the generalist second opinion across any artifact; the Security Engineer goes deep on vulnerabilities and compliance.
AI Engineer vs ML Engineer: AI Engineer builds with LLMs (prompts, RAG, agents); ML Engineer evaluates and trains models.
