Senior Software Engineer - Tech Lead

This role has been designed as ‘Hybrid’ with an expectation that you will work on average 2 days per week from an HPE office.

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer / Technical Lead for the NGPE/SuPS (Next‑Generation Programming Environment / Supercomputing Programming Software) team to help develop and deliver a containerized programming environment for HPC and AI workloads. This is a hands‑on technical leadership role with opportunity for both individual technical contribution and leadership across design, integration, and delivery.

The role spans compilers, libraries, runtime systems, developer tools (debugging and performance profiling), and software delivery workflows, with impact across the full software stack. The ideal candidate brings strong systems software expertise, sound engineering judgment, and the ability to lead technical efforts across teams while helping drive usability, reliability, and performance for production software environments.

• Build, integrate, and maintain curated containerized software stacks for HPC and AI workloads, incorporating compilers, runtimes, developer tools, and libraries from HPE, third‑party vendors, and open‑source projects.
• Develop and improve build, packaging, and CI/CD pipelines used to deliver production‑quality software.
• Drive integration across compilers, MPI, libraries, and system software.
• Analyze and improve software performance, scalability, reliability, and maintainability across the software stack.
• Collaborate with customers, partners, and open‑source communities to evaluate, enable, and deploy new technologies.
• Provide technical leadership through architecture discussions, design reviews, cross‑team coordination, and mentoring.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related field.
• Typically, 6 + years of software development experience in systems software, HPC, or a closely related area.
• Strong programming skills in C, C++, Python, or similar languages.
• Experience with container technologies such as App Trainer, Podman, or similar tools.
• Experience with build systems, software packaging, automated testing, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Familiarity with HPC software stacks, including compilers, MPI, libraries, debuggers, profilers, and Linux‑based system software.
• Experience supporting HPC or AI workloads.
• Proven ability to lead technical initiatives and work effectively across multiple engineering teams.

• Strong problem‑solving skills in complex systems.
• Ability to operate effectively at both system and implementation levels.
• Clear written and verbal communication with technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
• Strong collaboration skills across engineering, product, customer, and partner teams.
• Understanding of HPC and AI software ecosystems and their deployment considerations.
• Awareness of software performance, scalability, reliability, and usability tradeoffs.
• Ability to prioritize effectively and drive technical work in ambiguous or evolving environments.
