At Arista, you’ll spend your time embedded deeply into our development teams, working side by side with the developers, helping us to explore, find and fix our bugs before they can reach our customers
You will NOT spend your time running manual regressions of mind numbing, 1000 page test plans, because Arista’s developers automate all the basic functional and integration tests
Instead, you’ll bring your intelligence, creativity, and drive to work every day to help us understand how our products are going to be used by our customers and to make sure that they’re going to work every time
Your job is to find the hard bugs, the ones not easily exposed by the developers’ automated unit and product level tests
Use every means possible to find the bugs in the software and/or hardware being developed by your team
Write test plans to validate Arista features and products
Design test network topologies to validate functionality, performance, stability and scalability of features and products
Execute test plans to verify all aspects of the product. Identify defects and validate resolution
Work as an agile member of a combined development and test team, running in short cycles to develop functional software in quick iterations
Work with the developers on your team in creating their plans for automated tests to complement the exploratory testing that you perform. Be the testing expert for your team
Participate in functional specification and software design reviews held by your team and provide customer centric input

Our take

Arista is a supplier of cloud networking solutions, addressing the needs of internet companies, cloud service providers, and enterprises. While the business is not tied to a crowd of large customers, companies are nonetheless attracted to its CloudVision Software - which has the potential to save them a significant amount of money.

The company's growth so far has led to it being seen as a rising star in the computer networking industry. It competes directly with digital giant Cisco, but despite this boasts impressive revenue growth. In fact, Arista has been vocal with its confidence that it can continue to grow at a rapid pace, as it further develops its offering for the networking market.
