Job Description

Who You’ll Work With

Arista Networks is looking for world-class Software Test Engineers (aka System Test engineers) to help us in building the highest quality networking products for the AGNI team. 

Arista Guardian for Network Identity (AGNI) is Arista’s network identity and access management solution. It provides secure authentication, authorization, and visibility for users, devices, and applications accessing the network. AGNI uses a cloud-native, microservices-based architecture and leverages ML/AI to simplify operations, support zero-trust security, and scale with modern enterprise networks. It integrates with existing identity sources and network infrastructure and is available as both a SaaS and on-premises solution.

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.
