When you join Arista's VeloCloud Systems Engineering team, you become part of the group that pioneered cloud-delivered SD-WAN. Reporting to the Systems Engineering Manager, you will be assigned a named book of MSP/SP accounts and serve as the primary technical relationship owner across those partners.
You will engage directly across the full breadth of each MSP/SP organization-spanning product management, sales, marketing, operations, service assurance, and NOC teams. Your role is to help partners design, launch, grow, and operationalize SD-WAN and SD-Branch managed services built on Arista's portfolio.
Through close collaboration with Arista Product Management, Engineering, TAC, and Professional Services, you will serve as a trusted advisor as partners build next-generation networking services that drive measurable business growth for both their customers and Arista.
What You'll Do
We are seeking a collaborative, technically strong Systems Engineer to own, enable, and co-sell with our strategic MSP/SP partners.

• Operational Integration: Ensure seamless integration of VeloCloud SD-Branch into MSP/SP operational frameworks, including OSS/BSS systems, service assurance platforms, and delivery workflows. This includes guiding use of VeloCloud REST APIs, log/metric export, and multi-tenant orchestration capabilities.
• Co-Selling: Partner alongside MSP/SP sales teams in customer-facing opportunities-delivering technical presentations, solution demonstrations, and workshops to MSP customers and prospects to accelerate deal velocity and expand revenue.
• Solution Architecture & PoC: Lead solution design, RFx technical responses, and Proof of Concepts (PoCs), ensuring proposed architectures align with partner technical requirements and their downstream customers' business objectives.
• Portfolio Expansion: Collaborate with MSP/SP partners to co-develop managed services that leverage the broader Arista portfolio-including campus switching, wireless, and security-creating additional revenue streams beyond SD-WAN.
• Product Feedback Loop: Serve as the voice of the MSP/SP channel into Arista Product Management and Engineering, providing structured feedback on features and enhancements required for managed service and multi-tenant use cases.
• Industry Presence: Represent Arista at industry events, MSP-focused forums, partner-led customer events, and conferences.
