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 faced today.

What you'll do...

  • Research and prototype new ways to improve the security and usability of Duo's products by applying machine learning and data science.
  • Develop machine learning approaches to address key challenges, such as robustness against active adversaries, explainability of predictions, and usability by organizations with limited security resources. Publication is encouraged.
  • Design machine learning systems that deliver highly scalable, low-latency results on streaming data.
  • Influence strategic direction for the Duo data science team -- a startup within a startup.
  • Work closely with Duo’s engineering team to quickly deliver your advances into the hands of millions of users at thousands of Duo customers.

You should have...

  • Understanding of machine learning algorithms and experience implementing them. You know how to test whether your classifier is working and how to fix problems if it isn’t. You can develop custom approaches to challenging problems.
  • Experience performing machine learning at scale.
  • A BS or MS in a quantitative field such as statistics or computer science, or equivalent experience.
  • Familiarity with at least one data analysis environment (Python/pandas/sklearn, R, etc.).
  • Proficiency in software engineering standard practices (source control, writing modular and testable code, etc.).
  • A collaborative and communicative approach to problem-solving. You are comfortable as both a teacher and a learner when working on a diverse team.
  • The agility to work in the rapid, unpredictable environment of a fast-growing tech company, many times without well-established policies and procedures to guide you.

Even better if you have...

  • A strong foundation in statistics, including the ability to design and analyze results of experiments.
  • Built systems using Apache Spark and Amazon Web Services.
  • Experience modeling time series data.
  • Applied deep learning to solve a problem.
  • Visualization skills.
  • A PhD, or equivalent experience conducting original research in a relevant area.
  • Experience building production software.
  • Experience working on security and privacy problems.

  • A company culture of kindness, transparency, and learning. Employees love Duo.
  • Ability to positively impact millions of users. Customers love Duo.
