Arista Networks is seeking high-caliber self-motivated test engineers for its enterprise and cloud-managed WiFi products. As a test engineer, you serve as the first customer of our products. You will ensure that the bugs that escape autonomous testing, implemented by the development team, are caught before the product is made available to our customers. This means that you will:

Focus your testing efforts on those hard-to-find bugs in the product that the autonomous testing framework could not or cannot cover; and
Challenge your imagination and skills to come up with creative ways to “break the product” in real customer scenarios instead of wasting time on manual regression testing of basic functionality.
Able to work successfully in a fast-paced environment, including with multiple platforms and architectures, diverse technologies, and cloud environments.

Identify opportunities and develop tools to automate testing procedures that can make the software testing team more efficient and productive.
Participate in test plan reviews of other features and products, and provide feedback to your team members, and in turn enhance your knowledge about other features or products.
