Why not just join as a SWE if that's the role you prefer? Ladder transfers at Google are possible, and I would say even mildly encouraged but it's not like there's a secret backdoor to the SWE job. AFAICT, everyone who holds it deserves it, even the transfers. :)
(If you have an SET offer, and you believe you could qualify as SWE there's no harm in taking the SET position. There is no penalty for trying to do a transfer and failing. In fact, Google is highly supportive of people reaching beyond their grasp and failing a time or two. That's how we learn!)
