SWE is a common abbreviation for Software Engineer. Others: PM, DE, PE, DS, UX, QA, etc.

This only started in the past 10 years or so, and I don't think I've ever actually seen it in real life. I don't live in SF though -- I assumed it was something Google did and all the SF types slavishly copied.

I think I started seeing it about 25 years ago, and I'm nowhere near SF/SV.
