Is this a codeword for "not contractor"? I heard that at google contractors are second class citizens.

I think FTE is mostly used as a 'unit'. E.g. if two people work on something 50% of the time, you get one "FTE-equivalent", as there is roughly one full-time employee of effort put in.

Though in this context it just seems to be the number of people working on the code on a consistent basis.

Yeah, 1 FTE just equals 40 work-hours.
