About the job
Team Collaboration
You will join the OpenConfig team, dedicated to developing an adaptable and programmable data center infrastructure leveraging software-defined networking methodologies, including declarative configuration and model-driven management.
Your Role
As part of Arista’s engineering team, you will have the unique opportunity to contribute to a cutting-edge networking operating system, designed from the ground up. Our architecture is guided by three core principles:
1. State Orientation: This innovative approach utilizes a multi-process state-sharing architecture that distinguishes state information from protocol processing and application logic, employing a centralized database. This system enables independent module operation, self-healing capabilities, and robust multi-process software stability.
2. Open Standards: Taking cues from the open-source community, Arista built EOS atop an unmodified Linux kernel, providing secure access to the Linux shell and utilities. This commitment ensures that EOS benefits from the latest advancements in the Linux ecosystem while supporting containers and virtual machines effectively.
3. Unified Software Image: Arista’s commitment to a single software image across all product forms enhances reliability and simplifies network operations. This unique approach stands in stark contrast to competitors who rely on multiple operating systems.
