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 transforming 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.

Together we build for the future by designing simple solutions for complex problems. And that's why we're the most loved and trusted name in security.
About the team
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, and using and teaching design thinking principles to bring together diverse perspectives and skill sets. We have an audacious 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.
