Already a fulltime Engineer myself, I guess what I am looking at can be more phrased as applied machine learning, to solve production related problems. This is somewhat different than a regular engineering role though.
We have a few programs for this. As I mentioned above, the ML ninjas program is like an internal engineering nfocused residency for existing SWEs. There's also a huge amount of internal training courses to get up to speed on machine learning. There are, however, options for existing employees. (step 1: apply for job.)
The role of Software Engineer at Google is boarder than in other companies. Applied Machine Learning and actually even most research is done by Software Engineers.
