We are Duo, and we’re here to democratize security for everyone. Our mission is to protect the mission of our customers like Facebook, Twitter, and Etsy by making security simple. We’re a diverse crew of makers and builders, skaters and coders, filmmakers and DJ’s, teachers and students brought together by a shared belief in adding value to the world. This diversity allows us to bring an empathetic approach to solve some of the most complex global business and security challenges we face today.

Play an instrumental part in helping to scale our quickly-growing company. As Senior Counsel, you’ll be expected to wear many hats as you tackle a range of cutting-edge legal issues at the intersection of privacy and security. You’ll also have lots of opportunities to flex your proven skills driving long-term, cross-functional projects to successful completion. In particular, we’ll be looking for you to play a key role in developing and driving our compliance strategy, including on key international data privacy matters. You’ll do this by partnering with teams across the organization to design and implement compliance-oriented and risk-mitigating strategies. By mastering our business, and by remaining up-to-date on relevant industry, privacy, intellectual property and other high-tech laws and developments, you’ll thrive as a trusted advisor and creative problem-solver for the business. It’s a demanding position, but you won't be doing it alone. You’ll work with an amazing, supportive team in a fast-paced, fun environment.
