About the job
Join Our Team
At Arista Networks, we are on the lookout for exceptional Software Test Engineers, also known as System Test Engineers, to contribute to the development of top-tier networking products for our AGNI team.
The Arista Guardian for Network Identity (AGNI) is our cutting-edge solution for network identity and access management. It ensures secure authentication, authorization, and visibility for users, devices, and applications accessing the network. Built on a cloud-native, microservices architecture, AGNI utilizes ML/AI technologies to streamline operations, support zero-trust security, and scale with modern enterprise networks. It seamlessly integrates with existing identity sources and network infrastructure, available as both a SaaS and on-premises solution.
If you are passionate about networking, energized by navigating complex network topologies, and thrive on the challenge of uncovering elusive bugs, this role is perfect for you. You will engage with our products just as our end customers do, ensuring their functionality and reliability.
Your mission will be to identify the challenging bugs that evade the developers’ automated unit and product-level tests. Instead of spending hours on manual regression testing of extensive test plans, you will work in a dynamic environment where Arista's developers automate fundamental functional and integration tests.
Thanks to our collaborative culture, you will work closely with various engineering teams, developers, POC engineers, and account teams to explore, identify, and resolve software issues before they reach our customers. We take quality seriously, and we want you to be our champion for software excellence!
Your Responsibilities
- Collaborate with developers to create automated testing plans that enhance your exploratory testing efforts.
- Contribute to functional specification and software design reviews, providing insights focused on customer needs.
- Operate in a highly productive environment alongside top engineers on the Linux platform, significantly reducing typical development cycles with an unwavering commitment to quality.
- Utilize all available resources to identify bugs in the software and hardware developed by your team.
- Draft test plans to validate the features and products of Arista.
- Design test network topologies to assess functionality, performance, stability, and scalability.
