Please note this posting is to advertise potential job opportunities. This exact role may not be open today but could open in the near future. When you apply, a Cisco representative may contact you directly if a relevant position opens.

Applications are accepted until further notice.

Meet the Team

Cisco Networking (CPO) builds the foundational platforms, security solutions, and test automation infrastructure that ensure our enterprise products meet the highest quality and performance standards. Our work ensures that software and hardware seamlessly integrate to deliver secure, reliable, and high-speed connectivity to customers worldwide. We are an agile, supportive engineering team passionate about building automated test frameworks, continuous integration pipelines, and AI-driven quality validation tools. What makes this team exciting is the opportunity to work alongside senior developers, gain hands-on experience with modern cloud and test infrastructure, and make a measurable impact on global products.

Your Impact

As a Quality Assurance Software Developer Co-op, you will assist in designing, developing, and executing automated test frameworks to validate the functionality, performance, and security of Cisco platforms. Write, debug, and maintain automated test scripts using Python to increase regression testing coverage and catch software defects early in the development lifecycle. Collaborate with development teams to integrate test suites into CI/CD pipelines (such as Jenkins and GitHub Actions) to ensure rapid, dependable software delivery. Utilize core developer tools, Linux environments, and AI-assisted automation to analyze test results and identify root causes for system bugs. Success in this co-op term means learning practical software testing methodologies, delivering reliable automation code, and contributing to high-quality releases across Cisco's global infrastructure.

Minimum Qualifications

Currently enrolled in an undergraduate degree program (Associate's or Bachelor's) in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field, with the expectation to continue enrollment following completion of the co-op work term.

Foundational programming and scripting skills in Python, Java, or C/C++ with coursework or practical experience writing and debugging code.

Familiarity with software quality assurance concepts, basic testing methodologies, or Linux command-line environments and Git version control.

Familiarity with CI/CD automation concepts (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions) and software development lifecycles.

Preferred Qualifications

Hands-on experience or coursework with automated test frameworks (e.g., pytest, unittest, or Selenium).

Basic understanding of networking protocols (TCP/IP, routing/switching) or cloud security principles.

Exposure to containerization basics (Docker) or exploring AI/ML developer tools to assist with coding and test automation.

Strong analytical problem-solving skills, curiosity to learn new technologies, and enthusiasm for collaborating in a team-oriented environment.

Why Cisco?

At Cisco, we’re revolutionizing how data and infrastructure connect and protect organizations in the AI era – and beyond. We’ve been innovating fearlessly for 40 years to create solutions that power how humans and technology work together across the physical and digital worlds. These solutions provide customers with unparalleled security, visibility, and insights across the entire digital footprint.

Fueled by the depth and breadth of our technology, we experiment and create meaningful solutions. Add to that our worldwide network of doers and experts, and you’ll see that the opportunities to grow and build are limitless. We work as a team, collaborating with empathy to make really big things happen on a global scale. Because our solutions are everywhere, our impact is everywhere.

We are Cisco, and our power starts with you.

U.S. employees are offered benefits, subject to Cisco’s plan eligibility rules, which include medical, dental and vision insurance, a 401(k) plan with a Cisco matching contribution, paid parental leave, short and long-term disability coverage, and basic life insurance. Please see the Cisco careers site to discover more benefits and perks. Employees may be eligible to receive grants of Cisco restricted stock units, which vest following continued employment with Cisco for defined periods of time.

10 paid holidays per full calendar year, plus 1 floating holiday for non-exempt employees
1 paid day off for employee’s birthday, paid year-end holiday shutdown, and 4 paid days off for personal wellness determined by Cisco
Non-exempt employees** receive 16 days of paid vacation time per full calendar year, accrued at rate of 4.92 hours per pay period for full-time employees
Exempt employees participate in Cisco’s flexible vacation time off program, which has no defined limit on how much vacation time eligible employees may use (subject to availability and some business limitations)
80 hours of sick time off provided on hire date and each January 1st thereafter, and up to 80 hours of unused sick time carried forward from one calendar year to the next
Additional paid time away may be requested to deal with critical or emergency issues for family members
Optional 10 paid days per full calendar year to volunteer

For non-sales roles, employees are also eligible to earn annual bonuses subject to Cisco’s policies.

Employees on sales plans earn performance-based incentive pay on top of their base salary, which is split between quota and non-quota components, subject to the applicable Cisco plan. For quota-based incentive pay, Cisco typically pays as follows:

.75% of incentive target for each 1% of revenue attainment up to 50% of quota;
1.5% of incentive target for each 1% of attainment between 50% and 75%;
1% of incentive target for each 1% of attainment between 75% and 100%; and
Once performance exceeds 100% attainment, incentive rates are at or above 1% for each 1% of attainment with no cap on incentive compensation.

For non-quota-based sales performance elements such as strategic sales objectives, Cisco may pay 0% up to 125% of target. Cisco sales plans do not have a minimum threshold of performance for sales incentive compensation to be paid.

The applicable full salary ranges for this position, by specific state, are listed below:

New York City Metro Area:

$44,000.00 - $185,000.00

Non-Metro New York state & Washington state:

$44,000.00 - $185,000.00

For quota-based sales roles on Cisco’s sales plan, the ranges provided in this posting include base pay and sales target incentive compensation combined.

** Employees in Illinois, whether exempt or non-exempt, will participate in a unique time off program to meet local requirements.
