Across all parts of the engineering team, we put a
premium on building and using tools that make everyone
super-productive. We automate whenever we can. Why test
things manually when you can develop a lab full of
automated servers to do it for you 24/7. (To date, we've
run 1.5 million automated tests!) This translates into
getting new features and products (and revenue!) quicker
and with a smaller team.
Our engineers are empowered with full responsibility for their
projects. Our management structure is flat and lightweight
-- you are in charge of delivering your work from design to code
to test to customer shipment.
We value openness -- no part of the company is
off-limits, meaning that our engineers have the chance to
work directly with customers, participate in sales
meetings, go to trade shows, recruit on campus, and deliver an amazing product.

The core responsibility is to deliver product
features. A major part of this is writing the
code that drives our products. But the role
of a software engineer is much bigger than just
being a coding machine. Software engineers work
on the whole development process,
including:
deciding what features to build
driving the design
writing the code (of course)
pushing testing
documenting the feature
supporting customers in the field
Along the way, you might:
extend and improve the test infrastructure
hack on our engineering tools, including p4, django, python, rpm, ...
work with sales and business development
improve the content on our website :)
If you...
love to program
enjoy building things and shipping them, truly making them work
find satisfaction in creating a really well-written piece of code
care about keeping the code maintainable and preserving its integrity
look for a better way, and strive to make it real
care about the business too
enjoy working with others who feel the same
learn how things work, just for fun or out of curiosity
... then this job is for you.
A strong background in linux, C++, TCP/IP, python, hardware, drivers, compilers, or assembly language is a plus.
Arista Networks is looking for world-class Software Test Engineers to help us in building the highest quality networking products you can buy.
