Software Engineer

Who you'll work with - The OpenConfig team who are responsible for building a dynamic, programmable data centre infrastructure using software-defined networking principles such as declarative configuration and model-driven management and operations.

Arista today is one of the fastest-growing companies in the industry. Arista has disrupted the market with two significant innovations:

1. Arista’s principle invention is an advanced network operating system, Arista EOS® (Extensible Operating System). Based on open standards, delivering high reliability and unique programmability at all system levels and offering a data-driven network platform that automates IT workflows, provides network-wide visibility, and enables rapid problem resolution.

2. Arista’s other key innovation is the exclusive use of best-in-class merchant silicon that enables open standards-based networking with rapid time-to-market. Notably, Arista’s merchant silicon strategy delivers state-of-the-art platforms at a faster time to market enabled by technology advances associated with Moore’s Law. In contrast, legacy approaches are built on custom ASICs coupled with monolithic software resulting in proprietary platforms and increased costs.

Arista’s engineering team started from a blank sheet of paper to architect an entirely new networking operating system. Arista’s unique architecture is based on three guiding principles:

1. State orientation

2. Open standards-based approach

3. Single software image consistency

Requirements

• Strong engineering and Computer Science fundamentals.
• Extensive background in algorithms and strong software architecture skills.
• 5+ Fluency in one of C/C++/Python programming.
• Hands-on experience with designs and implementations in a strong product-engineering environment.
