Software Engineers at Arista Networks participate in all phases of software development: design, implementation, and testing, to develop products for Cloud, Data Center, and Cognitive Campus networking. Projects span across

• Cognitive Network Management,
• Networking Protocols (BGP, OSPF, ISIS, VXLAN, WiFi),
• Security using AI,
• Forwarding SW for our high speed, high bandwidth and low latency Hardware, and
• Containerized internal tools for continuous integration and continuous deployment.

Our engineers are industry leaders who participate in standards bodies to define global networking and tooling standards, and contribute to open-source projects. Most engineers work on EOS, the Extensible Operating System that runs on our networking devices.

EOS is a state-based operating system built right on top of off-the-shelf Linux, and is our main product. We also have substantial internal tooling and infrastructure to keep us fast-moving and sharp; contribution

is encouraged from everyone on the SW team. Finally, engineers have the opportunity to help our customers get the most out of Arista’s products and really take ownership over their code.Most Software Engineers use Linux, C++ and Python on a daily basis. Some team members use tech like C, Go, Databases (MySQL, Hbase), web languages (React, Redux, ES6, D3), Streaming (Kafka), depending on the project. Networking expertise (Ethernet, TCP/IP) is useful but not required, since we believe that this domain-specific knowledge can be learned on-the-job.

We look for candidates who:

• Are conversant in software design
• Communicate well
• Demonstrate a solid understanding of computer science fundamentals, especially Data Structures,Algorithms, and Operating SystemsIf you…
• love to program
• look for a better way, and strive to make it real
• learn how things work, just for fun or out of curiosity

… then this job is for you, we’d love to talk to you, please reach out.About Arista NetworksArista Networks is the leading edge cloud based software defined networking solutions provider in the Data Center sector.
