Duo Security

Duo Security, now a part of Cisco, is the leading provider of Trusted Access security and multi-factor authentication delivered through the cloud.

Duo’s mission is to make security simple for everyone. We were born from a hacker ethos and a desire to make the Internet a secure place. We believe in empowering people to follow their passions inside and outside of the office and enable every employee to bring their whole self to work. 

Our team is our secret sauce. We run the spectrum from artists to analysts, low-key to high energy, and bring together a diversity of skill sets, experiences, and perspectives to solve what we consider to be the world's most pressing geopolitical challenge — transforming the security industry as we know it. Together we build solutions that are easy, effective, trustworthy, and enduring. And that’s why we are the most loved and trusted company in security

As a Senior Software Engineer on our Site Reliability Engineering team, you will develop software and tools to empower Duo's product development teams to run and maintain their services in production. You will collaborate with a wide range of internal partners to engineer automated solutions in an effort to remove toil and enhance stability for a variety of infrastructure, with an emphasis on scalability. You will face challenges that require an engineering mindset and a desire to automate everything possible.

Skills you have

• You have architected cloud based services including infrastructure maintenance
• You have mentored more junior engineers in their technical skills
• You can run a meeting where the outcome is a technical decision made
• You have a history of writing web applications with high quality code in Python, Go, NodeJS or equivalent
• You enjoy reading and critiquing others code in code review
• You are passionate about automation and reducing toil
• You are committed to quality and experienced with modern software testing practices
• You care about contributing to an amazing work culture and environment

Even better if

• Prior experience with automated configuration tools like Ansible, Puppet, Chef, etc
• Prior experience deploying cloud services, monitoring, alerting, and handling escalations
• You have experience supporting a high-availability SaaS environment
• You work well in charting new DevOps practices without a well defined roadmap

Why you should apply

• You’ve seen the news! Cybersecurity is the biggest issue of our time and you want to make a difference.
• You thrive having the autonomy to operate in a meaningful problem space solving real problems for real people
• You love collaborating with, teaching, and learning from high-performing peers on software projects

This job may not be for you if

• You only code alone and aren't willing to mentor and be mentored.
• You lack a real passion for writing high-quality secure software that is backed by an equally mature approach to testing.
• You stress under the ambiguity of a problem and default to others to provide you with the answers.
• Your first instinct is to point out why something can’t be done rather than focusing on what the customer problem is.
• You tire at the thought of a steady, deliberate pace in both a product and company.
• If this role is exciting to you, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet all 100% of the description or qualifications
