Cisco Careers Jobs

Application Deadline: July 1st 2024, 5 PM PST

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 closed system 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 efficiency.

You will lead industry boards and/or councils as a sought-out expert who influences, develops and defines next-generation technologies with favorable business impact for Cisco's broad product portfolio. The size, diversity, and richness of our data are simply unmatched. The Internet is changing fast, and we are too. This role will lead the team that drives an effective engineering ecosystem strategy for Cisco across multiple strategic domains including standards, open-source, research, and intellectual property.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Proven experience in guiding engineering leaders with most significant technical and product challenges.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• You'll bring forth a successful track record of navigating the complexities of large-scale production environments, ensuring the seamless integration of highly distributed data and networking platforms into internet-scale services.

• As a strategic leader, you'll excel in making critical technical decisions, crafting roadmaps and vision that drive the success of ground-breaking projects in application to the Network Assurance Roadmap.

• Proficient in harmonizing the efforts of multi-functional teams, including researchers, data scientists, network engineers and infrastructure teams, they build room to collaborate between business goals and technology innovation.

• PhD +15 years of related industry experience is strongly preferred.
