A direct cause for the “engineers” group having a lot more members than you have added manually is that it is a default group for Jira Software product access. This means that any new user who joins your site and has access to Jira Software will automatically be added to the “engineers” group. You can check and change the default group for Jira Software by going to Products > Jira Software > Manage product > Product roles.
