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 Network Assurance solution for Cisco across the Cisco Networking Cloud and Cisco Security Cloud. ThousandEyes is also a foundational component of Cisco’s growing Full-Stack Observability ("FSO") business.

About the Role

The DevOps team at ThousandEyes plays a crucial role in ensuring business continuity and enhancing the productivity of developers. Our mission is to establish and maintain secure and efficient systems for managing infrastructure and accounts controlling access to organizational resources. The team provides a seamless experience for all members of the ThousandEyes organization from day one.

We are seeking a dynamic and experienced Lead Engineer to spearhead our newly formed team. As the Lead Engineer, you will have the opportunity to shape your team and play a pivotal role in the technical direction of the team, driving innovation, and ensuring the successful execution of projects. This position requires a strategic thinker with excellent leadership skills, a strong technical background, and the ability to inspire and mentor a team of talented engineers.

Our leads are hands-on-oriented and drive up coding standards, best practices, and quality assurance processes. Besides designing and implementing, you are expected to mentor others. The DevOps team is instrumental in shaping the security posture and foundational to the compliance and risk management efforts of the company.

What You'll Do

As the lead of a newly formed team, this is a fantastic chance for individuals to make a substantial impact while influencing the future of the organization. The role emphasizes the importance of collaboration with the broader ThousandEyes and Cisco IT teams to ensure compliance and alignment with the latest technological trends.

We are passionate about optimizing our systems and improving the lives of the members of the ThousandEyes organization.
