Job Description:

HPE Networking

At HPE Networking, we are building toward a self-driving network - one that goes beyond simply being "up" to continuously delivering an exceptional user experience.

Our vision is an AI-native network that can observe what is happening across users, devices, applications and infrastructure; identify problems before customers are impacted; determine root cause; recommend or take trusted action; and continuously improve from real-world experience.

This represents a shift from reactive network troubleshooting toward proactive and increasingly autonomous network operations.

By combining deep networking expertise, real-time telemetry, observability, AI and automation, we are working to make networks simpler to operate, more resilient and more intelligent.

Escalation Engineering plays a critical role in this journey.
