Cisco Careers Jobs

Who We Are

The name ThousandEyes was born from two big ideas: the power to see things not ordinarily possible and the ability to collect insights from a multitude of vantage points. As the world continues its digital transformation and relies more on cloud services and the Internet, the "network," which is now both public and private, has become a black box our customers cannot see or understand.

Our Internet and cloud intelligence platform delivers the only collectively powered real-time view of the Internet and private networks, cloud, and SaaS platforms, helping enterprises and service providers identify problems before they impact revenue, damage brand reputation, or halt employee productivity.

In August 2020, Cisco Systems completed the acquisition of ThousandEyes, which now forms the ThousandEyes Business Unit within the Cisco Networking Business Group and is the Digital Experience Assurance solution for Cisco across the Cisco Networking Cloud and Cisco Security Cloud.

About The Role

As an Internet Analyst, you will have access to massive volumes of unmatched data collected from some of the largest enterprise and public networks in the world. As part of the ThousandEyes Internet Intelligence team, you will focus on educating the market on what really happens on the Internet by analyzing performance and other characteristics related to Internet, SaaS and cloud-based services. Based on your analysis, you will write and publish reports and blogs, present findings at industry events, brief media and customers on incidents and overall Internet health, and serve as an Internet expert on behalf of ThousandEyes.

This role requires deep domain knowledge of Internet protocols (DNS, TCP/IP, BGP, HTTP) and Internet/cloud ecosystems. Preferred candidates will have previous experience with network measurement and a record of publications in technical conferences in computer networks.
