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.
