Work with the Kernel community to contribute features back to the mainline.
Work with a team of Kernel engineers to integrate new versions of the Kernel for use in EOS and our internal development.
Provide technical leadership across features, projects and tools.
Work with Customer Support Engineers and customers to analyze, mitigate and fix problems in customer networks.
Work with the System Test Engineers to analyze problems found in their tests and provide fixes for those problems.
Mentor new and junior engineers to bring them up to speed in Arista’s software development environment.

Qualifications

BSc, MS or Ph.D. in Computer Science/Electrical Engineering/Computer Engineering with 3+ years of related post graduate work experience
Expert knowledge of and extensive experience programming in C required. Knowledge of C++ and Python desirable.
Significant hands-on experience troubleshooting issues, fixing bugs and developing features in the Linux kernel.

Ability to work independently and in small teams.
Ability to communicate articulately, and document your designs and implementations clearly, and concisely.

This is a mid-level software engineer requirement not applicable for fresh graduates or interns.
