Recruitment Fraud Alert

We also never request personal information such as back account details, Social Security numbers, or national IDs via social media or chat applications.

HireSetu's note

The code sits low in the stack

Read the job family text and the picture is clear: operating systems, compilers, networking, utilities, databases. This is not app or web development, despite what the software engineer title leads most graduates to expect. C++ on Linux is the language of this world, and systems programming is the habit of mind it rewards.

At entry grade you get a portion or a subsystem, not a whole product. The test plans are already written, and a large part of the job is working out why something broke and logging it clearly. Debugging matters here more than how quickly you can write new code.

The degree is the real filter

Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, Information Systems or equivalent, with anywhere from zero to two years behind you. HPE labels this TCP_01, its entry grade, so fresh graduates are the intended audience. The experience line reads as a range, not a minimum, and a year spent on a systems or embedded team would slot in fine.

The rest of the list is learnable: understanding of testing and debugging procedures, analytical ability, spoken and written English. What pays off before an interview is the material underneath: processes and threads, memory management, virtual memory, file systems, how TCP behaves, and the C++ details people let slide, pointers, references, object lifetime, standard library containers. Spend time on Linux with gdb, make and the shell.

Since the job is fully remote, ask how the team splits work with the outsourced development partners the listing mentions, and who reviews your code.

How to apply

  1. Open HPE's careers site with the Apply button.
  2. Create a Workday account for HPE. Workday logins are separate for every company, so an account made for another employer won't work here.
  3. Upload your resume and check every auto-filled field; Workday often misreads dates and job titles.
  4. Answer the screening questions, submit, and look for the confirmation email from Workday.
