Engineering @ Arista Networks

What's cool about being an engineer at Arista?

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. (We run hundreds of thousands of automated tests every day!) 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.
