We're looking for a hands-on network engineer to lead data center transformation from Cisco to Arista. The ideal candidate has actually planned, architected, and executed Cisco-to-Arista fabric migrations in production -not just designed on paper. Responsibilities:

 * Design and build spine-leaf data center fabrics using Arista EOS and CloudVision Portal (CVP)
 * Lead migrations from Cisco-based environments to Arista, including planning, validation, and production cutovers
 * Configure and optimize VXLAN, BGP, and EVPN for low-latency, high-availability connectivity
 * Automate provisioning and configuration using Python, Ansible, and CVP APIs
 * Partner with security, systems, and application teams to align network design with operational requirements
 * Mentor junior engineers on Arista best practices
