What do you call a developer that fixes bugs or add enhancements?

For example, I have , like two projects, none developed by me, I have to add enhancement/ fix bugs when the issues/change-requests arrive.

Now I am preparing my cv and I am like what do I write for these particular projects?

Don't feel right writing developer for these projects since it gives the impression I developed the entire thing. Co-developed does not sound right either. Maintenance? Now it feels more like server operations than anything to do with code. Bug Fixer? Sure got a nice ring to it, but it does not feel professional.

So guys, any ideas?

    Engineer? Application maintenance is still part of our jobs. Sadly every job can't be new development!

    Are you capable of making new features? A developer is a developer, if you understand code then surely it doesn't matter what you call it?

    90% of software development is maintenance/bug fixing. If you only ever write new stuff, and never maintain or have to debug it that is when you should doubt whether you deserve the developer title.

    Developer. You were developing whether you created it or not. No need to be humble on a CV, no one else is.

    You're a developer. You had to understand the code, recreate bugs, and implemented (read developed) solutions. I'm sure you then tested these bug fixes. Sounds like a developer to me!
