What We're Building

We're building the AI-native social engineering defense platform.

This means we're designing scalable systems that monitor billions of domains, social media accounts, apps, dark web forums, etc., and leverage AI agents to identify and neutralize digital threats.

What You'll Do

Doppel's Forward Deployed Engineering team plays a critical role in bringing our largest, multimillion-dollar enterprise customers into production. You'll tackle complex technical challenges, integrating Doppel into enterprise security environments and making our products critical to customer operations.

You'll work directly with customers, GTM, Product, and Engineering to turn ambiguous, open-ended problems into production-ready solutions. With the pace and autonomy of a startup, you'll scope, build, and ship solutions end-to-end, solve real customer problems, and turn what you learn in the field into scalable product capabilities.

• Solve problems that matter to customers. Work directly with enterprise customers to understand their workflows, uncover unmet needs, and translate complex challenges into solutions that deliver meaningful value.

• Build from 0→1. Take ideas from early discovery through prototyping, development, and production, making technical decisions and iterating quickly based on real customer feedback.

• Build beyond the immediate customer need. Identify recurring patterns across deployments, design reusable solutions, and turn customer-specific challenges into capabilities that strengthen the broader Doppel platform.

• Shape what we build next. Partner closely with Product and core Engineering to bring customer insights into technical discussions, challenge assumptions, and contribute to product priorities and decisions.

• Bring Doppel into complex enterprise environments. Build applications, workflows, APIs, and integrations across identity providers, SIEM/SOAR platforms, and enterprise security systems.

• Make the customer experience better. Develop features, automation, and AI-powered workflows that simplify onboarding, accelerate adoption, and improve how customers interact with Doppel.

• Own solutions through production. Work across Engineering, Product, and GTM to navigate ambiguity, solve technical blockers, and ensure what you build delivers lasting value.

What We're Looking For

• Strong software engineering foundation. Experience building and shipping production software, with the ability to design systems, evaluate technical tradeoffs, and independently deliver end-to-end solutions. Python experience preferred.

• Experience building from 0→1. Track record of taking ambiguous problems from initial concept through development and launch, with the ability to iterate quickly based on feedback and real-world usage.

• Strong customer intuition. Ability to understand user needs, ask thoughtful questions, identify underlying problems, and translate complex requirements into practical, effective solutions.

• Product and systems thinking. Ability to recognize patterns across customer needs, design reusable abstractions, and balance immediate customer requirements with long-term scalability.

• Versatility across the stack. Comfort building customer-facing applications, backend services, APIs, and integrations. Experience with enterprise authentication, security platforms, or SIEM/SOAR systems is a plus.

• Entrepreneurial mindset and ownership. Resourcefulness, curiosity, and comfort navigating ambiguity, with the initiative to identify opportunities and drive solutions forward independently.

• Strong communication and collaboration. Ability to work directly with customers, communicate technical tradeoffs, and collaborate effectively across Engineering, Product, and GTM.

• AI-native engineering mindset. Interest in leveraging AI to accelerate development and solve complex problems. Experience with LLMs, agents, or AI-powered workflows is a plus.
