Software Engineer  


We build high-performance, secure, and lightweight software agents running on various platforms such as AIX, Linux, Solaris, and Windows and across multiple architectures including aarch64, x86_64, s390x and ppc64_le on workloads, Kubernetes nodes, and DPUs.  

In this role you will help improve and develop features for software agents that:  

Collect a rich set of information on the workloads, including network traffic and system activities such as processes, users, and file access activities.  

Implement network policies from the central controller to the workload.  

Monitor and protect container-based deployments.  



Who You’ll work with:  


As an integral member of the software agent team, you'll be closely involved in the product development cycle from conceptualization to deployment in production environments.  

You will be embedded within matrixed teams that include data engineers, data scientists, and UX/UI engineers.  

The features you develop will enable data centre, enterprise, and cloud network transparency, and management at an outstanding scale.  



Who you are:


  • A self-motivated team member who enjoys learning about and contributing to the design, development and improvements of software products and customer-facing features.  
  • You embrace agile methodologies that involve rapid prototyping by feedback captured from customers, peers, and technical support engineers.  
  • A junior software engineer with shown computer science understanding in areas such as algorithms, systems and/or networking.  
  • You would like to gain experience in analyzing complex systems, which involve interactions between different processes and interactions with kernel.  
  • You are comfortable in programming in C or C++. Go is a plus.  


Most importantly, we're looking for someone who loves coding but is also passionate about doing research, crafting prototypes, and testing new ideas. Join our small team, where your dedication and willingness to learn are key to our success.


 

Minimum Qualification


  • Recent university graduate (Engineering, Bachelor's or Master's) or in your final year of studies or equivalent experience in Computer Science or Information Science or similar level/point of interest in Software Engineering
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills. Must be proficient in English 
  • 0-2 years of experience  
  • Able to legally live and work in Poland without visa support or sponsorship
  • Available full-time (Monday – Friday, 40 hours per week)


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.)  

Day to day, we focus on the give and take. We give our best, give our egos a break, and give of ourselves (because giving back is built into our DNA.) We take accountability, bold steps, and take the difference to heart. Because without diversity of thought and a dedication to equality for all, there is no moving forward.  

So, you have colourful hair? Don’t care. Tattoos? Show off your ink. Like polka dots? That’s cool. Pop culture enthusiast? Many of us are. Passion for technology and world-changing? Be you, with us! 

 



Message to applicants applying to work in the U.S. and/or Canada:

When available, the salary range posted for this position reflects the projected hiring range for new hire, full-time salaries in U.S. and/or Canada locations, not including equity or benefits. 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. or Canada hiring location. The recruiter can share more details about compensation for the role in your location during the hiring process.

U.S. employees have access to quality medical, dental and vision insurance, a 401(k) plan with a Cisco matching contribution, short and long-term disability coverage, basic life insurance and numerous wellbeing offerings.

Employees receive up to twelve paid holidays per calendar year, which includes one floating holiday (for non-exempt employees), plus a day off for their birthday. Non-Exempt new hires accrue up to 16 days of vacation time off each year, at a rate of 4.92 hours per pay period. Exempt new hires participate in Cisco’s flexible Vacation Time Off policy, which does not place a defined limit on how much vacation time eligible employees may use, but is subject to availability and some business limitations. All new hires are eligible for Sick Time Off subject to Cisco’s Sick Time Off Policy and will have eighty (80) hours of sick time off provided on their hire date and on January 1st of each year thereafter.  Up to 80 hours of unused sick time will be carried forward from one calendar year to the next such that the maximum number of sick time hours an employee may have available is 160 hours. Employees in Illinois have a unique time off program designed specifically with local requirements in mind. All employees also have access to paid time away to deal with critical or emergency issues. We offer additional paid time to volunteer and give back to the community.

Employees on sales plans earn performance-based incentive pay on top of their base salary, which is split between quota and non-quota components. For quota-based incentive pay, Cisco typically pays as follows:

.75% of incentive target for each 1% of revenue attainment up to 50% of quota;

1.5% of incentive target for each 1% of attainment between 50% and 75%;

1% of incentive target for each 1% of attainment between 75% and 100%; and once performance exceeds 100% attainment, incentive rates are at or above 1% for each 1% of attainment 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.
