Software Systems Engineer-Devops

Round 1: Online coding assessment (DSA and basic DevOps problems) → Round 2: Technical interview (design, system concepts, coding) → Round 3: HR interview (fit, motivations, culture)

HPE promotes a collaborative work culture with a strong focus on learning and innovation. Employees enjoy flexible work arrangements, regular tech talks, and clear growth pathways, while maintaining a healthy work‑life balance. The company’s inclusive policies and employee resource groups foster a supportive environment for diverse talent.

The HPE interview process typically starts with an online coding test focusing on data‑structures, algorithms and basic DevOps scenarios. This is followed by a technical interview where candidates discuss system design, cloud‑native concepts and write code on a whiteboard or shared editor.
