About the role

This role is a hybrid position with an expectation of working 2 days per week from an HPE office.

Job Description

HPE is always looking to advance and enhance its Hybrid and Private Cloud portfolios. We are expanding our Private Cloud Engineering team with a talented and inspired Principal Software Engineer focused on front-end engineering, UI/UX, and product experience. This role is dedicated to building intuitive, modern, and scalable user experiences using React and TypeScript.

Essential Functions

• Provide technical leadership for front-end architecture, UI implementation, and user experience across complex product areas.
• Design, build, and maintain modern user interfaces using React, TypeScript, HTML, CSS, and related front-end technologies.
• Help define the direction of our user experience by identifying opportunities to simplify workflows, improve usability, and create more consistent product experiences.
• Collaborate closely with product managers, UX designers, backend engineers, architects, and customer-facing teams to translate complex requirements into intuitive, scalable user experiences.
• Lead the development of reusable UI patterns, shared components, design system practices, accessibility standards, and front-end engineering best practices.
• Evaluate existing product workflows and identify areas where the experience is confusing, inconsistent, inefficient, or difficult for customers to use.
• Guide product roadmap discussions by providing technical expertise, design-informed feedback, and a deep understanding of customer workflows.
• Participate in and lead the design, implementation, monitoring, and troubleshooting of front-end software systems.
• Mentor engineers, review technical designs, provide feedback on implementation approaches, and help raise the overall quality of front-end development across the team.
• Absorb and resolve customer issues as needed, especially where usability, workflow clarity, performance, accessibility, or front-end behavior impacts the customer experience.
• Collaborate with sales engineering, product, and operational teams to understand customer needs and recommend practical, scalable solutions.

About You

• Have deep experience building production web applications with React and TypeScript.
• Have a strong sense of design and user experience, even if your background is primarily engineering rather than formal product design.
• Can take a complex technical workflow and make it easier to understand, easier to use, and easier to support.
• Have strong product instincts and can identify when a workflow, interface, or interaction pattern is not serving the user well.
• Have experience translating designs, wireframes, prototypes, product requirements, and customer feedback into polished, production-ready user interfaces.
• Have deep knowledge of HTML, CSS, responsive design, browser behavior, accessibility, front-end performance, and modern front-end architecture.
• Have experience designing scalable front-end application structures, reusable component models, and maintainable UI patterns.
• Have experience working with RESTful APIs and integrating front-end applications with backend services.
• Are comfortable with modern front-end tooling, package managers, build systems, version control systems, automated testing, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Have experience with design systems, shared component libraries, or UI platform standards.
• Have experience testing front-end applications, including unit, integration, end-to-end, accessibility, or visual regression testing.
• Have experience working in complex technical domains such as cloud, virtualization, infrastructure, automation, IT Service Management, developer tools, or enterprise software.
• Have enough understanding of compute, storage, networking, and cloud concepts to design and build effective experiences for highly technical users.
• Have experience applying cloud technologies such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud.
• Have strong communication skills and can influence technical and product direction across engineering, product, design, sales engineering, and customer-facing teams.
• Are comfortable mentoring engineers, setting technical direction, reviewing designs, and raising the quality bar across a team.
• Can translate product requirements into technical direction, implementation plans, and front-end architecture decisions.
• Are comfortable operating with ambiguity and helping teams move from unclear product needs to practical, well-designed solutions.

Required Education and Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Human-Computer Interaction, Design, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 10+ years of experience contributing to technology projects and delivering solutions at scale.
• Significant professional experience building production web applications with React, TypeScript, and modern front-end technologies.
• Demonstrated experience providing technical leadership for front-end architecture, UI development, product experience, or design system initiatives.

Preferred Education and Experience

• Pursuing or completed a Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Human-Computer Interaction, Design, or a related field.
• Experience working with enterprise SaaS, cloud management platforms, infrastructure software, developer tools, or operator-focused products.
• Experience contributing to or leading a design system, shared component library, or front-end platform initiative.
• Experience with accessibility standards and inclusive design practices.
• Experience using customer feedback, usability research, analytics, or support data to improve product workflows.
• Relevant certifications in cloud platforms, UX, accessibility, or front-end technologies.
