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 Requirements:

10+ years in enterprise/data center networking

Direct, hands-on experience migrating a Cisco environment to Arista (planning through cutover), not just greenfield Arista deployment

Strong command of BGP, EVPN, VXLAN, spine-leaf/Clos architectures
