Who We Are

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 redefining 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 a 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 cherish a healthy work-life balance.

Together we build for the future by designing simple solutions for sophisticated problems. And that's why we're the most loved and trusted name in security.

Who You'll Work With


Design plays an integral role in Duo's mission to democratize security. Our Product Design, Design Research, and Design Operations teams work alongside our engineering and product peers to build solutions that are easy, effective, trustworthy, and enduring. We place a high value on inclusivity, using and teaching design thinking principles to bring together diverse perspectives and skills sets.

We have an ambitious goal to make this the best place you will work. The products we design and build have real results for our customers because our customers are at the heart of everything that we do. We work directly with customers to build a deep understanding of their goals and context, and we explore and iterate on solutions together. Solving our customers' security challenges through our focus on simplicity and effectiveness is why we show up daily - and it's why you should too.

      When available, the salary range posted for this position reflects the projected hiring range for new hire, full-time salaries in U.S. locations, not including equity or benefits. For non-sales roles the hiring ranges reflect base salary only; employees are also eligible to receive annual bonuses. Hiring ranges for sales positions include base and incentive compensation target. Individual pay is determined by the candidate's hiring location and additional factors, including but not limited to skillset, experience, and relevant education, certifications, or training. Applicants may not be eligible for the full salary range based on their U.S. hiring location. The recruiter can share more details about compensation for the role in your location during the hiring process.
      
      U.S. employees have access to quality medical, dental and vision insurance, a 401(k) plan with a Cisco matching contribution, short and long-term disability coverage, basic life insurance and numerous wellbeing offerings. Employees receive up to twelve paid holidays per calendar year, which includes one floating holiday, plus a day off for their birthday.

      Employees on sales plans earn performance-based incentive pay on top of their base salary, which is split between quota and non-quota components. For quota-based incentive pay, Cisco pays at the standard rate of 1% of incentive target for each 1% revenue attainment against the quota up to 100%. Once performance exceeds 100% quota attainment, incentive rates may increase up to five times the standard rate with no cap on incentive compensation. For non-quota-based sales performance elements such as strategic sales objectives, Cisco may pay up to 125% of target. Cisco sales plans do not have a minimum threshold of performance for sales incentive compensation to be paid.
