At Duo, our mission is to democratize security. We want to make cutting-edge internet security available to everyone. Do you want to help? 

As a software engineering intern at Duo, you will work as an embedded member of a software engineering team to solve some of the most challenging problems in todays security industry. You may work on building our mobile app, securing the cloud, helping us assess device security, or helping us kill VPNs and passwords. On our team you will find: musicians, hackers, hikers, gardeners, birders, and board game enthusiasts all working together to make Duo the most loved and trusted company in security.  

Our teams are focused on questions like:

• How do we balance security and ease of use?
• How do we make strong security ubiquitous, so that organizations of all sizes can afford to be protected with strong security?
• How do we make security software so easy to use that users dont resist it?

If these sound interesting to you, come join our team. Our people are our secret weapon. And together we build solutions that are easy, effective, dependable, and enduring. 

We are committed to cultivating and preserving a culture of inclusion and connectedness. We are able to grow and learn better together with a diverse team of employees. The collective sum of the individual differences, life experiences, knowledge, innovation, self-expression, and talent that our employees invest in their work represents not only part of our culture, but our reputation and Duos achievement as well. In recruiting for our team, we welcome the unique contributions that all potential candidates can bring in terms of their education, opinions, culture, ethnicity, race, sex, gender identity and expression, nation of origin, age, languages spoken, veterans status, color, religion, disability, sexual orientation and beliefs.

And if this role is exciting to you, we encourage you to apply even if you dont meet all 100% of the description or qualifications. Finally and most importantly, we are a proud Equal Opportunity Employer.

Tips to make your application stand out: While academics are a strong signal to us, good grades aren't the only thing that matters to us.

• Past internships are a great way to show how you've made an impact and applied your knowledge to a real customer problem.
• We love to hear about experiences youve had where youve: learned something new, taken leadership / ownership of a project, helped / taught others, and/or delivered results.

#WeAreCisco, where each person is unique, but we bring our talents to work as a team and make a difference powering an inclusive future for all. 

We embrace digital, and help our customers implement change in their digital businesses. Some may think were old (36 years strong) and only about hardware, but were also a software company. And a security company. We even invented an intuitive network that adapts, predicts, learns and protects. No other company can do what we do you cant put us in a box!

But Digital Transformation is an empty buzz phrase without a culture that allows for innovation, creativity, and yes, even failure (if you learn from it.)

Day to day, we focus on the give and take. We give our best, give our egos a break, and give of ourselves (because giving back is built into our DNA.) We take accountability, bold steps, and take difference to heart. Because without diversity of thought and a dedication to equality for all, there is no moving forward.

So, you have colorful hair? Dont care. Tattoos? Show off your ink. Like polka dots? Thats cool. Pop culture geek? Many of us are. Passion for technology and world changing? Be you, with us!
