Business Tools at Google
Is it true that being a software engineer for the business tools team is defin an SWE position and level? I just want to check that leveling is the same and comp is the same. I heard at Facebook that enterprise engineering is not SWE and also pays less than a full fledged SWE and I’m wondering if this is the same case at google. Thanks!
There's a role called SETI. Software Engineer, Tools and Infrastructure. It's very close to regular SWE. Not a bad thing, but not exactly the same as SWE. I don't think you need to interview to change between them, but I'm not sure.
Thank you.
Actually the term the recruiter used was “business intelligence” and developing tools that other engineers inside G will be using.
That definitely doesn’t sound SWE or even Application Engineer. Sounds more like one of those coding roles where you are the “technical” person in a non-tech team like Marketing or PeopleOps. We do have a few of those kinds of roles and they are tough to transfer out of because you’ll need to reinterview if you want to switch job ladders. Ask your recruiter which job family and which job ladder the role belongs.
Thank you. This is very helpful.
Thank you.
