Who You'll Work With

Duo Security, now a part of Cisco, is the leading multi-factor authentication (MFA) and secure access provider.

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 are 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. Together we build for the future by designing simple solutions for complex problems.

Your Impact

Our Data Streaming team handles the data, integrations, and API backbones that power Duo’s products. A recent transformation of our logging pipeline used modern data infrastructure to unlock value for our customers. We are looking for a collaborative Software Engineer to help us harness this momentum to build the next generation of APIs, infrastructure, and reporting, enabling us to democratize security. Typical responsibilities include:

1. Work with other team members to maintain and improve our streaming data platform
2. Develop and maintain data pipelines ensuring reliability, scalability, and performance, as well as monitoring tools and dashboards to track the health and performance of the data platform
3. Design and implement data models and schemas for streaming data
4. Connect data sources to the streaming platform and ensure data integrity and consistency
5. Use data technologies such as Apache Kafka, OpenSearch, and Redis to manage and serve data for all of Duo’s global customer base
6. Collaborate with a wide range of internal partners (Product Management, Product Design, Customer Support, Customer Experience, etc.) to engineer solutions

In this role, you will have the unique opportunity to impact different areas of our work. Our engineers at all levels lead projects and initiatives and bring our teams along with them. We value inclusion, empower autonomy, and emphasize software craftsmanship. You embody our values and development culture of collaboration, democracy, testing, CI/CD, data-driven decisions, and mentorship.

Minimum Requirements for this role:

1. 3+ years in server-side web application, REST API, or microservices development
2. Proficient in Python 3 and asynchronous frameworks
3. Experience with databases like MySQL, Redis, OpenSearch, and Kafka in SaaS environments
4. Knowledge of automated testing practices

Preferred Skills & Experience:

1. AWS, Terraform, and Docker for cloud service deployment and management
2. CI/CD pipelines, DevOps practices, and tools like Ansible and Terraform
3. Source code management using Git
4. Monitoring tools such as Datadog, Grafana, or Splunk Observability
5. Strong focus on usability and user experience for both internal and external users
6. Interest or previous experience with machine learning concepts and infrastructure
