Arista Software Engineering prides itself on a supportive and growth oriented culture. Over time, as your interests change, coupled with evolving business needs you will have the opportunity to switch from Kernel and BIOS to other areas, if you like.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years experience of C or C++ and Python.
  • Hands-on experience working on Linux Kernel software is a plus.
  • Understanding of IP networking and/or distributed systems is a plus.
