Googler here, but not working anywhere related to optimization problems. Google developed its solver a while ago [1] and it has been open sourced more recently. Additionally, it is also a supported solver for Minizinc [2] so you can use it with a well known tool/syntax without having to rely on the python/C++ libraries. However, those give you access to some of the solvers specific features that can help you speed up solving time.
