Some recruiter called me from google and told this opening is for java/python engineer and title is application engineer, but it’s same as software engineer only diff is it’s mostly writing code to integrate different products in google? Can any body throw some light on this application engineer role

    It’s a lower tier eng role. You’ll need to interview again if you want to switch to the SWE track later

      What exactly is "lower tier Engineering role"? AEs works on different problems than SWE - agreed. But how are AEs inferior ?

    It's internal enterprise app development and integration, such as for finance, HR, payroll, legal, etc. You are not in the "Engineering" org.

    Some work may involve develop documentation management system or supply chain management systems. It is internal tool development and it is engineering work, it is just not google core product.

      AE role can bring it's own advantages. Generally core products are mature and have little room for major innovation. AE projects are new and generally include making applications from scratch
