Software Engineer

Summary

Join Arista Networks as an Intern/Graduate Engineer and contribute to the Software Defined Networking (SDN) revolution. You'll have the opportunity to choose your team and work with a personal mentor. Arista provides a comprehensive onboarding program including an Arista Prep course and weekly Arista U lectures. You'll engage in hands-on projects involving Linux kernel and user space code, ASIC register access, configuration management services development, routing protocol agent development, and web-based application design. Full-time job offers are available for end-of-studies interns. The role involves working with various technologies and programming languages.

Requirements

• Have knowledge of C, C++, Networking, Linux Embedded Systems, or Algorithms
• Possess a love and aptitude for programming

Responsibilities

• Write 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
• Access 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
• Develop 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
• Develop routing protocol agents (for BGP, OSPF, ISIS) in C/C++ within a Linux embedded environment. Code fault-tolerant, concurrent agents capable of handling the demands of future data centers where high performance and high availability are basic requirements
• Contribute to a fully automated, developer owned, Python based, continuous test harness with 100s of devices under test at any one moment
• Design and code 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. Allow you to view events, inspect a device, or compare metrics across devices and much more

Benefits

• A personal mentor for the duration of your internship
• 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
