Did they not ask about the title, and did the compensation talk not reveal this?

Yeah but the title Application Engineer sounds like Dev Ops or backend engineer or front end engineer.

Never is it mentioned that this is a position that is not a software engineer and is paid less than a software engineer.

Like do I need to ask whether a backend engineer is a software engineer? If not why do I need to ask this about an Application Engineer?

This role is where google puts most of their contractors.
