What the job involves

Working in Engineering Productivity (EngProd), you will collaborate and work with other engineers to design, build, scale, and operate the systems that the rest of Arista’s development teams use
The EngProd team uses industry-standard systems like Ansible, Jenkins, Kubernetes, Grafana, Spinnaker, MySQL, ElasticSearch, Google Cloud, and Varnish and also internal systems that we’ve built from the ground-up to automate CI/CD, testing, analysis, and visualization
We believe observability is one of the cornerstones of a stable system, and endeavor to make sure we can monitor and visualize all aspects of our tooling and infrastructure
Arista Software Engineering roles demand a strong and broad software engineering background
While the primary focus area for this role is EngProd, the role will not be limited to any single aspect of software development at Arista
It will cover all aspects of software development spanning the addition of new features, debugging problems and fine tuning code for scalability and performance
You will own your projects from definition to deployment and customer interactions, and you will be responsible for the quality of everything you deliver
Arista Software Engineering prides itself on a supportive and growth oriented culture
Over time, as your interests change, coupled with evolving business needs you will have the opportunity to switch from EngProd to other areas, if you like
Building, integrating and maintaining tools and infrastructure facilitating internal development and testing
Improve maintainability of build system
Evaluate new tools
Improve speed of information back to the development team within the build systems and processes
Troubleshoot and resolve systems and network issues
Adherence to infrastructure-as-code principles
Proactively ensure the highest levels of systems and infrastructure availability
Participate in the design and implementation of new systems and infrastructure projects

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.
