Cisco Careers Jobs

Who We Are

The name ThousandEyes was born from two big ideas: the power to see what’s not ordinarily possible, and the ability to collect intelligence from vantage points as diverse and global as the Internet. As organizations depend on cloud services, the Internet has become their defacto network connecting cloud applications to users. Our Internet and cloud intelligence platform is like a ‘Google maps of the Internet’, providing the only collectively powered view of digital experiences end-to-end. We enable our customers made up of the world’s largest and fastest-growing brands, to identify problems before they impact revenue, brand reputation, or employee productivity.

In August 2020, Cisco Systems completed the acquisition of ThousandEyes, which now forms the ThousandEyes Business Unit within Cisco’s Network Services Business Group, and is a foundational component of Cisco’s growing Observability business.

About the Team

The Endpoint Team at ThousandEyes is dedicated to developing and enhancing our Endpoint Agents, a crucial part of our Global Vantage Points. These agents empower organizations to monitor network performance from the perspective of end-user devices, providing deep visibility into the network experience. We are a collaborative and innovative group, working closely with engineers, product managers, and data scientists to create solutions that help our customers ensure optimal network performance and reliability.

About the Role

At ThousandEyes, we are fanatical about design. Our product is built to visualize the Internet and the services that flow across it. The Internet is a massive distributed system with thousands of networks at its core serving half of the human population. As a Product Designer you are going to solve data visualization problems at the Internet scale. We believe in innovation, simplicity, and elegance.

Product Designers work with our customers, engineers, product management, and customer success to determine design requirements, create mockups, user workflows, do user research, and provide feedback to constantly improve our product. You will be part of the full product development cycle, from strategic user decisions to pixel-perfect design delivery.

We are seeking a talented and passionate Product Designer to join our Endpoint Team. As a Product Designer, you will play a critical role in shaping the user experience and interface design of our Endpoint Agents. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to create intuitive, efficient, and delightful experiences for our users. This is an exciting opportunity to have a direct impact on the quality and usability of a key product within ThousandEyes.

Why Cisco

#WeAreCisco, where each person is unique, but we bring our talents to work as a team and make a difference, powering an inclusive future for all.

We embrace digital, and help our customers implement change in their digital businesses. Some may think we’re "old" (36 years strong) and only about hardware, but we’re also a software company. And a security company. We even invented an intuitive network that adapts, predicts, learns and protects. No other company can do what we do -you can’t put us in a box! But "Digital Transformation" is an empty buzz phrase without a culture that allows for innovation, creativity, and yes, even failure (if you learn from it.)
