At Arista we value the diversity of thought and perspectives that each employee brings to the table. We believe that fostering an inclusive environment, where individuals from various backgrounds and experiences feel welcome, is essential for driving creativity and innovation.

Who You’ll Work With

Operating right where hardware meets software, the Platform team builds the foundation for our networking ASICs and supporting infrastructure. We write the critical code that drives ultra-low-latency, high-performance networking and guarantees rock-solid hardware reliability.

What You’ll Do

As part of this team, you’ll work on projects like:

• Programming ASICs with thousands of registers and tables.
• Implementing latency analysis and event tracking at a massive scale.
• Developing software agents that mediate between networking ASICs, FPGAs, and PCIe bridges.
• Optimizing lasers, error correction, and quality of service for global networks.
• Evaluating new CPUs and working with CPU/BIOS vendors to integrate their stacks into our operating system.
• Qualification and bring-up of supporting hardware components (PCIe memory, thermal controllers, etc) into our products.

• Strong engineering and Computer Science fundamentals.
• 5+ years fluency in C or C++. Python experience an added bonus.
• Solid understanding of Linux OS internals, kernel architecture, and device driver model.
• Proven experience interacting with low-level hardware interfaces and communication protocols (e.g., I2C, SPI, UART, PCIe, GPIO, IPMI, etc)
