Arista Networks is looking for world-class Software Test Engineers (aka System Test engineers) to help us in building the highest quality networking products. If you love networking, working on complex & scaled out network topologies makes you excited and if you like to challenge yourself to find the hard-to-find bugs and if troubleshooting & debugging network and system problems gives you a thrill, this role is tailor made for you.
At Arista, you’ll bring your intelligence, creativity, and drive every day & work with our products exactly how they are going to be used by our end customers and while doing so, make sure that the products are going to work every time. You will engage with our products as end-users would, ensuring their consistent functionality and reliability.
Your job is to find the hard bugs, the ones not easily exposed by the developers’ automated unit and product level tests. 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.
Courtesy of our super collaborative work environment, you’ll spend your time embedded deeply with multiple engineering teams, working side by side with the developers, POC engineers, account teams, working together as one team and do all of it to help us to explore, find and fix software problems before they can reach the customers. We take quality seriously and we invite you to be a champion of software quality!!
