About this role
Who You’ll Work With 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.

Trusted Advisor – Service Design: Help MSP/SP partners create, package, and take to market differentiated SD-WAN and SD-Branch managed services built on VeloCloud and the broader Arista portfolio.
Cross-Functional Enablement: Develop and deliver tailored enablement programs across all MSP/SP teams—GTM (sales and marketing), operations, NOC/support, and product management—equipping each with the knowledge to position, sell, deliver, and support Arista-powered services. 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.
