At Meraki, we’re making IT easier, faster, and smarter. Our cloud teams build and maintain our cloud applications, which manage millions of networks, cameras, and sensors all over the world. Our customers use the Meraki web dashboard, mobile app, and programmable APIs to monitor, configure, and automate critical IT infrastructure that serves tens of millions of people every single day. Cisco collects massive amounts of data from devices all over the world. We write millions of data points each second globally every day. With this data, we power Dashboard and a rich set of programmable APIs that allow our customers to gain insight into the state of their networks.

Our teams are small and fast-paced, striving always to make our services outstanding by balancing feature-rich abilities and simplicity! This team is building the next generation of dashboard that will enable deeper cloud networking experiences for Meraki and Cisco products. Our engineers work on some of the busiest systems at Meraki, extending their capabilities for the growing portfolio of devices in Dashboard.

What you will do:
  • Prototype new ways to ingest data, with the goal of integrating these into some of our highest throughput production systems.
  • Shape the evolution of our data pipelines to support the growing ecosystem of products connected to the Meraki Cloud.
  • Develop new systems and tools to ensure the quality of data being ingested from a variety of sources
  • Work closely with leaders in the networking industry on a high profile project that includes rapid prototyping and integration into production.
  • Ensure quality of these systems by adding tests, monitoring and alerting systems.
About you:
  • You're passionate about solving real customer problems and have experience prototyping, shipping, and iterating on new products
  • You are willing to jump in and solve problems, regardless of where in the stack it is!
  • You’ve worked with relational or time-series databases before, either directly via SQL or an ORM.
  • You’re experienced in an object-oriented or functional programming language.
  • You take a focused, organized approach to development, testing, and quality.
  • You have 8 years of experience working on large scale systems
  • You enjoy mentoring and coaching other specialists, and leading large technical projects

We work with a mix of languages and technologies at Meraki including Ruby (and Rails), Scala, Java, Go, PostgreSQL and Kafka. We know that everyone's tech stack is different and that skills translate. If you’ve used comparable technologies and like learning new things there's a good chance you’re an ideal fit for the team.

Bonus points for:
  • Experience or willingness to work in an agile environment (Scrum, Kanban, etc.).
  • Experience working with a real-time compute and streaming infrastructure (Kafka, Flink, Storm, Spark, etc).
  • Experience with microservice architectures

There are a lot of different areas of responsibility so we encourage you to reach out, even if you don’t have all the experience listed above! We believe that great engineers and great teams come from a diverse set of backgrounds and not everyone has worked with a stack similar to ours.

An Insider's view of Cisco Meraki

What are some social events your company does?

Meraki Chicago hosts several social events. Some current and past events include weekly yoga and meditation sessions and cocktail classes, cooking classes, drag bingo, talent shows, and more!

Javana

Operations Supervisor

What does your typical day look like?

Badge in the door nearest the espresso machine and make latte art in the form of the Cisco logo. Work can range from teaching customers how RF works to designing multi-site Meraki networks. When I'm not evangelizing customers, teaching Networking-101, or handling escalations, I make easy work of those foolish enough to challenge me at ping pong.

Zakariya

Systems Engineer

How do you make yourself accessible to the rest of the team?

By simply just being around. In addition to the regularly scheduled one on one meetings I have with everyone, I make sure that my team knows I am always here to help, in any situation.

Network Support Manager
