About The Role

As a Lead Software Engineer, Cloud Services, you will create scalable, reliable backend systems that support HP IQ's mission to transform the way people work. We value how we work as much as what we deliver. Our journey of continuous learning and evolution requires a flexible and resilient services platform that fosters innovation, experimentation, and adaptation. To enable this, we focus on designs and tools rooted in strong engineering principles like abstraction, composition, virtualization, automation, and iterative development cycles.

  • Own end-to-end delivery of platform and cloud services, including infrastructure buildout, application architecture, APIs, deployment pipelines, observability, reliability, and performance, while mentoring engineers and driving cross-functional alignment.
  • Work with modern containerization and cloud technologies, including Kubernetes.
  • Collaborate across engineering, design, product, and marketing teams to help shape our product vision and deliver exceptional user experiences.
  • Lead the execution of projects across full-stack engineering teams (device, web, backend, infrastructure) with clear communication and coordination.
