Role Overview
As a senior contributor, you’ll play a key role in the team’s day-to-day engineering work. Typical responsibilities for a Systems Software Engineer at the senior level include:
- design and develop low-level systems software, drivers, or operating system components
- optimize for performance, reliability, and resource efficiency at the systems level
- debug complex, cross-layer issues spanning hardware and software
- collaborate with adjacent teams to integrate systems-level components into larger products
Beyond the day-to-day, you’ll be expected to communicate clearly with teammates and stakeholders, document your work so others can build on it, and continuously look for ways to improve how the team ships software.
Requirements & Qualifications
This is a senior role, so candidates should bring deep, demonstrated expertise:
- strong experience with C/C++ and low-level systems programming
- understanding of operating systems, memory management, and performance tuning
- experience debugging complex issues across hardware/software boundaries
- comfort working close to the metal in performance-critical environments
Candidates who don’t check every box are still encouraged to apply — Hewlett Packard Enterprise values demonstrated ability and growth potential alongside a resume that matches every requirement exactly.
Location & Work Setup
This role is based in United States. This is a hybrid position, combining in-office collaboration with the flexibility to work remotely part of the week. Specific work arrangements and any relocation details will be confirmed during the interview process. As with any hybrid role, expect regular collaboration with teammates through a mix of synchronous meetings and asynchronous updates, so strong written and verbal communication matters as much as technical skill.
