The Role

Who We Are

Cisco ThousandEyes is a Digital Experience Assurance platform that empowers organizations to deliver flawless digital experiences across every network – even the ones they don’t own. Powered by AI and an unmatched set of cloud, internet and enterprise network telemetry data, ThousandEyes enables IT teams to proactively detect, diagnose, and remediate issues – before they impact end- user experiences.

ThousandEyes is deeply integrated across the entire Cisco technology portfolio and beyond, helping customers deploy at scale while also delivering AI-powered assurance insights within Cisco’s leading Networking, Security, Collaboration, and Observability portfolios.

  • Join forces with the software engineers to ensure that the ThousandEyes platform’s Federal region infrastructure and services are designed and optimized for availability, latency, and performance.
  • Design, implementation, and management of FedRAMP-compliant infrastructure and systems.
  • Establish and maintain processes for continuous monitoring, logging, and auditing of systems to ensure compliance with FedRAMP controls.
  • Collaborate and partner with security teams to identify and remediate vulnerabilities, conduct security assessments, and implement necessary security controls.
  • Design and implement dynamic infrastructure. Solutions to run our platform’s infrastructure as we grow and continue scaling (think multi-region scale).
  • Drive and build automation enabling our infrastructure and platforms to scale effortlessly, with a special focus on FedRAMP systems.
  • Know the latest industry best practices, evolving security threats, and updates to FedRAMP guidelines, and apply this knowledge to improve the security posture of our systems.
  • Design, deploy, and maintain cloud-native services in AWS that are elastic and resilient to failure.
  • Participate in and contribute to improving our 24x7 incident response and on-call rotation.
  • Capacity planning for the infrastructure and platform and help teams prepare for growth.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience.
  • Experience building and/or operating FedRAMP environments.
  • Experience identifying and analyzing cyber security risks.
  • Solid understanding of the FedRAMP framework, its controls, and compliance requirements.
  • Familiarity with security standard processes, vulnerability management, and incident response processes.
  • Ability to write high-quality code in Python, Go, or equivalent languages.
  • Ability to build and implement scalable and well-tested solutions.
  • Good understanding of Unix/Linux systems, the kernel, system libraries, file systems, and client-server protocols.

For non-sales roles the hiring ranges reflect base salary only; employees are also eligible to receive annual bonuses. Hiring ranges for sales positions include base and incentive compensation target. Individual pay is determined by the candidate's hiring location and additional factors, including but not limited to skillset, experience, and relevant education, certifications, or training. Applicants may not be eligible for the full salary range based on their U.S. hiring location. The recruiter can share more details about compensation for the role in your location during the hiring process.

Employees on sales plans earn performance-based incentive pay on top of their base salary, which is split between quota and non-quota components.

Once performance exceeds 100% quota attainment, incentive rates may increase up to five times the standard rate with no cap on incentive compensation. For non-quota-based sales performance elements such as strategic sales objectives, Cisco may pay up to 125% of target. Cisco sales plans do not have a minimum threshold of performance for sales incentive compensation to be paid.
