[Hiring] Cybersecurity Software Engineer @Arista Networks

Role Description

Our team's mission is to build the automations and tooling that power superhuman threat detection, incident response, and compliance reporting for both Arista's internal teams and our managed service customers. We are the engineering engine behind the security experts, creating the integrated, automated platform that allows them to move faster and see further.

As a Cybersecurity Software Engineer, you will be a critical part of a small, agile team responsible for the full lifecycle of these tools. You'll help evolve and enhance our sophisticated suite of MSSP tools and automations for a 24x7x365 managed service, ensuring our platform remains best-in-class. This is a hands-on role where you'll have the autonomy to design, build, and deploy solutions that have a direct impact on our security posture.

What You'll Do

• Develop and maintain full-stack applications, including Node.js/Express backends and React frontends.
• Build robust scripts, custom modules, and powerful automations using Python.
• Own features and projects from design to deployment, working closely with security analysts to gather requirements and feedback.
• Integrate a wide array of security tools with our SIEM, SOAR, and centralized logging solutions to create a seamless operational workflow.
• Use, maintain, and enhance our CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins) with an "infrastructure as code" mindset.
• Ensure the quality and reliability of our tools by writing comprehensive unit and integration tests.
• Create clear and concise documentation, including READMEs, development guides, and user manuals.

Qualifications

• 3-5+ years of professional full-stack software development experience.
• Proficiency in Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, and modern frameworks (React, Node.js).
• Experience with cloud platforms (GCP, AWS), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, Jenkins).
• Expertise with databases including PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, and Redis.
• Strong communication skills, able to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.

Requirements

• Experience applying AI/ML to solve real-world problems, particularly with generative AI platforms (e.g., Google Gemini, AWS Bedrock) and concepts like RAG, vector databases, and embeddings frameworks.
• A strong background in cybersecurity, such as network/endpoint forensics, penetration testing (red team), or defensive engineering (purple team).
• Deep familiarity with security concepts like Indicators of Compromise (IOCs), CVEs, and the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
• Experience integrating with cybersecurity vendor and threat intelligence provider APIs.
• Experience building metrics dashboards to visualize performance and operational data.

Benefits

• Engineering-centric company with leadership that understands sound software engineering principles.
• Global hiring into a diverse team with complete ownership of projects.
• Flat and streamlined management structure prioritizing test automation tools.
• Access to every part of the company, providing opportunities to work across various domains.
• Headquartered in Santa Clara, California, with development offices in Australia, Canada, India, Ireland, and the US.
