Intern, Graduate Software Engineer

Summary

Join Arista Networks as an Intern/Graduate Engineer and contribute to the Software Defined Networking (SDN) revolution. You'll work with a chosen team and a personal mentor, participating in an Arista Prep course and weekly Arista U lectures. Opportunities include participation in hack-a-thons and a potential full-time job offer upon internship completion. The role involves diverse tasks, from writing Linux code and accessing ASIC registers to developing configuration management services and routing protocol agents. You will also design and code a web-based front-end application. A passion for programming is key.

Requirements

• C
• C++
• Networking
• Linux Embedded Systems
• Algorithms

Responsibilities

• Writing Linux user space and kernel code to allow 32-bit drivers to DMA 64-bit virtual memory spaces using both Intel and AMD IOMMU controller
• Accessing ASIC registers over SPI bus, SMbus, PCIe and I2C, to implement high resolution timers (sub-100ns accuracy) and read ASIC hardware specifications to gather near-real-time information on large numbers of packet flows and to generate network congestion statistics
• Developing configuration management services using Go and Python to support YANG, OpenConfig, NETCONF and RESTCONF over gRPC, ssh and ssl for standardised switch configuration, combined with tools like git, Gerrit, Jenkins, Slack and Trello
• Developing routing protocol agents (for BGP, OSPF, ISIS) in C/C++ within a Linux embedded environment. Coding of fault-tolerant, concurrent agents capable of handling the demands of future data centers where high performance and high availability are basic requirements
• Contributing to a fully automated, developer owned, Python based, continuous test harness with 100s of devices under test at any one moment
• Designing and coding a web-based front-end application that abstracts the physical network to a broader, network-wide perspective using react.js, redux.js, and node.js
• Cloud Vision Portal is a front-end user interface for understanding the stored data from the real-time telemetry streamed from the data center switches. Allowing you view events, inspect a device, or compare metrics across devices and much more

Benefits

• Arista Prep course (2 lectures/tutorials/workshops, 2 days a week, over 6 weeks)
• Arista U weekly – Arista ‘University’ lecture on new technologies, products, tools
• Hack-a-thon – participate in twice yearly global hack-a-thons (depends on internship dates)
• Full time permanent job offer (end of studies internships) prior to the end of the internship
