Job Information
Cisco SRE Engineer, Mid-Level in Sydney, Australia
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.

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 you're coming up short in these areas, but think you could still knock it out of the park, apply and tell us your story in an introductory letter.
