Title
Internet Measurement Researcher
About the Role
We are looking for an internet measurement researcher to join our applied research team. In your role within the research team, you'll be at the forefront of innovation, crafting and refining new algorithms to enhance the inference capabilities at ThousandEyes. Your work will focus on monitoring the performance and reliability of a wide range of technologies including applications, networks, cloud providers, and CDNs. Collaborating closely with top-tier engineering and product teams, you will take your pioneering ideas from prototypes to full-scale production. This will empower some of the world’s largest networks to efficiently monitor and analyze the root causes of various events.
As a member of our research team, you'll work with an extensive and unparalleled dataset gathered from some of the world's most extensive enterprise and public networks.
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 organizations rely more on cloud services and the Internet, the network has become a black box they can't understand. Our Internet and cloud intelligence platform delivers the only collectively powered view of the Internet, cloud, and SaaS platforms, helping enterprises and service providers work together to identify problems before it impacts revenue, damages brand reputation, or halts employee productivity.
In August 2020, Cisco Systems completed the acquisition of ThousandEyes, which now forms the ThousandEyes Business Unit within Cisco’s Network Services Business Group and is a foundational component of Cisco’s growing Observability business.
