Systems Software Engineer — Marvis Minis & Edge AI

Systems Software Engineer — Marvis Minis & Edge AIThe future of networking is autonomous and AI-driven. HPE Mist Networking is building that future through Marvis Minis — a digital twin framework that runs directly on access points to continuously validate network health and feed data into our self-driving network engine.This team owns the Minis platform end-to-end: the embedded agent, cloud data pipelines, SLE classifiers, and integrations with Marvis Actions and the Large Experience Model. You'll work across this stack — contributing to features, debugging cross-layer issues, and growing your expertise in both embedded and cloud systems.This role will require being on site in Cupertino 2+ days a weekWhat You'll DoDevelop and test Minis features across embedded (AP firmware, switches, gateways, via sandboxed test execution) and cloud (data pipelines, SLE classifiers, REST APIs)Write and maintain Minis tests — network and application validation tests such as DNS, DHCP, ping, MTR that run on networks like APs, switches, gateways and report results to the cloud via KafkaDebug cross-layer issues — troubleshoot problems that span AP firmware, cloud services, and data pipelines (e.g., why a downloadable mini fails on specific AP models, why SLE classifiers show incorrect data)Contribute to cross-platform expansion — help extend Minis to switches and WAN edge devices, working with peer dev teamsBuild and improve cloud services — work on Storm topologies, Airflow DAGs, Redis caching, Elasticsearch queries, and Kafka consumers that process millions of Minis test resultsParticipate in production operations — monitor rollouts of features and respond to customer-reported issuesCollaborate with senior engineers, the data science team, QA, and firmware teamsRequired Qualifications (all required)4+ years of professional software engineering2+ year Go, C, or Python: This experience should be hands-on development in at least two of the following: Go, C, or Python — meaning you have written, reviewed, tested, and shipped code in these languages in a team environment, not just coursework or personal projects.

You should be able to read and contribute to an existing codebase of moderate complexity in these languages.2+ years working on Linux-based systems. Linux proficiency: Should be comfortable working in a Linux environment daily — you can write shell scripts, navigate the filesystem, use debugging tools (gdb, strace, tcpdump), manage processes, and understand file permissions and basic networking configuration (interfaces, routing, iptables).Networking fundamentals: Understanding of TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, and HTTP — sufficient to explain how a client obtains an IP address, resolves a hostname, and makes an HTTP request, and to interpret packet captures or traceroute output when debugging issues1+ year of Cloud or distributed systems: experience with at least one of: message queues (Kafka, MQTT), stream processing (Storm, Flink), REST API development, or containerized deployments (Docker) — through professional work, not just tutorials1+ year of Version control and CI/CD: Comfortable working in a Git-based workflow with pull requests, code reviews, and CI pipelines — you have used this in a team setting for at least 1 yearEducation: BS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical fieldPreferred QualificationsExperience with embedded Linux development — cross-compilation, on-device debugging, resource-constrained environmentsExposure to data pipeline tools: Apache Storm, Airflow, Redis, ElasticsearchFamiliarity with AI/ML concepts — model inference, data preprocessing, or signal processingExperience with wireless networking, AP hardware, or IoT protocolsExperience with production monitoring, alerting, and incident responseFamiliarity with Python data tools (Pandas, NumPy) or JSON data processingWho Thrives HereProblem solvers — you dig into logs, packet captures, and code until you find the root causeSelf-starters — you take initiative and don't wait to be told what to work on nextCollaborators — you communicate clearly (especially in writing) and ask good questionsLearners — you're excited about growing across embedded and cloud, not staying in one laneWhat We Can Offer You:Health & WellbeingWe strive to provide our team members and their loved ones with a comprehensive suite of benefits that supports their physical, financial and emotional wellbeing.Personal & Professional DevelopmentWe also invest in your career because the better you are, the better we all are.
