Job Description

HPE is expanding its Private Cloud Engineering team with a talented and inspired Principal Software Engineer focused on front-end engineering, UI/UX, and product experience. The role involves 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.
• Assist with 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

You are a strong fit for this role if 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.
