Duo Security, now part of Cisco, is the leading multi-factor authentication (MFA) and secure access provider.
Duo + Cisco = Disco
With the Most Loved Company in Security and the global leader in network technology joining forces, there are more exciting opportunities than ever to be at the forefront of securing the cloud.
Our mission is simple: democratize security by making it easy and effective for everyone. We're transforming security from the ground up by solving the world's most pressing geopolitical challenge - safe, secure information access. We engineer our business to enable our customers to easily address their ever-evolving security challenges.
We believe that impactful work is rewarding work and that our team is at its best when everyone feels empowered to bring their whole self to work. We learn together by hiring for cultural contribution, not cultural fit, and recognize that diversity in background and thought is essential to building high-impact teams.
We invest in growth and learning opportunities and encourage our people to never stop learning. We foster collaboration and believe in being recognized (and rewarded!) for hard work. We champion a healthy work-life balance. We're kinder than necessary.
Together we build for the future by designing simple solutions for complex problems. And that's why we're the most loved and trusted name in security.
As a Software Developer in our Platform Core team, you will develop the main authentication platform. This platform is responsible for approximately 1 billion authentications per month and has a target SLA of 99.99%. Our primary responsibility is to innovate new ways to scale and increase the availability of our core platform.
Together with the team, you will help provide a solid foundation upon which features can be built and make it easy for other engineers to do the right thing in the design, development, and deployment of our products. These foundational features include work in specifying RESTful API standards/tools, event-based service communications, and other service design related technologies. We write and maintain code in multiple languages, mainly Python and Javascript. We value learning and we work in a highly collaborative environment, setting each one of our team members for success while building valuable software tools.
We value inclusion and psychological safety, while we empower autonomy, and emphasize software craftsmanship. You embody our values and development culture of collaboration, curiosity, and pragmatism. Our engineers at all levels lead projects and bring our teams along with them. We prioritize team success highest and tend to swarm on sprint work to meet our shared goals.
