Sr. Software Engineer, Core Policy Team - Duo Security

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 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. 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.
At Duo, we believe that security should help people get their jobs done, not stand in their way. That means making it easy for our customers to configure policies that change the level of access or trust based on user and device context - minimizing friction while still providing strong security against attacks. At the heart of every one of these access decisions lies Duo's policy engine. That's why we're forming a new team to build the next generation of policy for our customers.
As a Sr. Software Engineer for the Policy team, you will design and build a scalable, extensible policy engine with a world-class user experience. You will bring out the best in your team by removing barriers, sharing a compelling vision of the future, and fostering an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive. You will use your equally strong people, operations, and technical skills in championing a user-first product engineering approach.
