What is “Application Engineer” in Google?

I’m mainly wondering about technical hiring bar in relation to regular SWE, development standards, percentage of time spent developing, etc. Do they want a full stack developer who can interact with infra people, or an infra person who can make simple web apps? https://careers.google.com/jobs/results/5829225713958912-application-engineer-google-fiber/?company=Google&company=Google%20Fiber&company=YouTube&employment_type=FULL_TIME&hl=en_US&jlo=en_US&location=Salt%20Lake%20City,%20UT,%20USA&q=&sort_by=relevance

Hiring bar for Application Engineer is much easier than SWE. I have a few friends who are AE and believe me their interviews were LC easy to med at max. I denied to interview for this role since seemed like an obvious downgrade.
