SETI vs SWE interview at Google

What is the difference between expectations from a SETI interview vs SWE interview. Also does the pay differ too?

For SETI there will be interviews focused on testing too. However you'll still have leetcode and design interviews just like a SWE and the bar is the same. Pay is the same. You can even transition between those roles and your comp won't change a thing

Do SETI developers work on the internal build system? How is it different from the technical infrastructure team? I have been struggling to get answers to these questions from the recruiters. I am more interested in bazel/blaze familiar?

SETIs work on anything related to engineering efficiency tools and internal build systems are most definitely part of this. If you work on a product team however most of the work is going to be on testing infrastructure.
