Software Systems Engineer-Devops

HPE’s interview process typically starts with an online coding test focusing on data structures, algorithms and basic system design. Successful candidates move to a technical interview where they discuss past projects, solve design problems, and answer questions on cloud‑native tools and DevOps practices. The final HR round assesses cultural fit, communication skills and career aspirations. Preparation should include hands‑on practice with Kubernetes, Terraform and coding in Python or Go.

Round 1: Online coding assessment → Round 2: Technical interview (design, coding, system fundamentals) → Round 3: HR interview (fit, motivations, cultural alignment)
