I have been recently approached for SETI position. Although it says Software Engineer, the primary work is creating testing frameworks only? Is this correct. Moving to SETI position is recommended or not? Can we shift to SWE roles after joining as SETI. Please advice.

I’m interviewing with google for a SETI and wondering how’s the headcount situation. There was a hiring surge later last year and I heard that SWE headcount is running low. What about SETI?
