The team is responsible for evaluating the scalability, resiliency, and security properties of production environments to ensure services meet internal Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and customer-facing Service Level Agreements (SLAs).\nBy implementing robust monitoring and alerting systems, the team proactively detects issues and leads incident management efforts to resolve outages swiftly. Beyond immediate resolution, the team focuses on long-term reliability by investigating incidents, implementing remediation strategies, and conducting Disaster Recovery drills to ensure resilient incident processes.\nThe SRE team continuously optimizes service performance and collaborates with development teams to ensure new features are designed with scalability in mind, while determining security requirements to meet the objectives of the company, customers, and relevant governmental agencies. Through the development of automation tools, acceleration techniques, and analytical tools, the team reduces operational expenses and identifies potential issues early in the product lifecycle. By conducting rigorous post-incident reviews and implementing preventive measures, the SRE team ensures Duo's solutions remain dependable, secure at every layer, and high-performing to meet user expectations.\nYour Impact\nAs a Site Reliability Engineer on our team, you will develop software and tools to empower Duo's product development teams to run and maintain their services in production.\nYou will\nCollaborate with internal partners and peer stakeholders to engineer automated solutions that remove toil, enhance stability, and ensure scalability across various infrastructure. \nApply an engineering mindset to build automation and operational tooling that enable fast, reliable releases, including automated roll-backs and zero-downtime deployments. \nWork across infrastructure and automation areas to improve service reliability and adapt services across regions. \nTest high availability and disaster recovery measures to minimize single points of failure and monitor resources to gauge scalability. \nContribute to the design and implementation of new tools, frameworks, and automation toolsets to solve complex operational challenges. \nTake ownership of tasks, collaborate on effective solutions, and support less experienced colleagues as a technical resource. \nParticipate in a rotating on-call SRE schedule, troubleshoot production and security issues, and collaborate across time zones on incident reviews and reliability improvements. \nMinimum Qualifications:\nBachelors + 5 years of related experience, or Masters + 3 years of related experience, or PhD + 0 years of related experience. \n4+ years of Python development. \n3+ years of experience with public cloud platforms (AWS preferred) and SaaS solutions. \n2+ years in Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) or a related IT field. \nExperience with infrastructure as code, especially Terraform. \nExperience with Container Orchestration including Kubernetes and Docker. \nProficiency using AI coding agents, with the judgment to verify outputs for correctness and security. \nDemonstrates strong ownership, proactively identifies reliability improvements, and collaborates effectively across engineering teams. \nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience operating Kubernetes with kubectl, Helm, Kustomize, and Argo CD. \nDesign and own secure cloud solutions following best practices for least-privilege access, encryption, and defence in depth. \nPrior experience deploying Cloud Services, Monitoring, Alerting, and production incident response. \nFamiliarity with disaster recovery, security controls, or multi-region infrastructure. \nWhy Cisco?\nAt Cisco, we’re revolutionizing how data and infrastructure connect and protect organizations in the AI era - and beyond.
