Job description

  • Design, build, and deploy production-level Arista VXLAN BGP EVPN fabrics using Arista’s AVD (Ansible Validated Designs) framework.
  • Map existing non-fabric network configurations to fabric-based configurations.
  • Integrate Arista fabric solutions with other data center technologies (compute, storage, virtualization, security, etc.).
  • Guide, train, and mentor networking team members (including Shuan and teammates) on AVD-based fabric configuration and design principles.
  • Support and grow infrastructure-as-code practices across the network team, including CVaaS, GitHub, and CI/CD pipelining for network configuration management.
  • Partner with EMEA and global network teams to deliver solutions while building internal capability.

Requirements

  • Deep, hands-on Arista expertise, with proven experience designing and deploying production Arista fabrics (not lab/POC only).
  • Strong working knowledge of Arista AVD and how it constructs fabric configurations.
  • Practical experience building and operating VXLAN BGP EVPN fabrics.
  • Ability to translate legacy/non-fabric network configs into fabric-based configs.

Strong infrastructure-as-code skill set, including:

  • Arista AVD
  • CloudVision as a Service (CVaaS)
  • GitHub / version control
  • CI/CD pipelining for network automation
  • Ability to teach and mentor others - comfortable instructing and upskilling team members on fabric design and automation practices.
  • Broad networking background with experience integrating Arista fabrics into a wider data center technology stack.
