Our AI-native platform uses agentic AI to protect executives, employees, customers, and brands from phishing, impersonation, fraud, and other AI-powered threats across digital channels. We help some of the world’s most recognized brands detect and dismantle attacker infrastructure while strengthening employee resilience through threat-informed training and simulation. By unifying Digital Risk Protection, Human Risk Management and Email Security, Doppel connects threats into a real-time intelligence graph to power faster disruption, smarter defense, and modern security awareness at scale.

Our team combines deep cybersecurity expertise, operational rigor, and startup velocity to solve some of the internet’s most urgent trust and safety challenges.

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 We're Looking For

We’re looking for an experienced backend engineer to build out the infrastructure required to rapidly scale up our engineering organization. A few examples of the work we’ve done recently:

  • Built self-hosted Elasticsearch infrastructure on Kubernetes, enabling real-time search across millions of alerts and associated metadata.
  • Defined core infrastructure using Terraform (IaC), allowing reproducible, version-controlled environments and faster onboarding for new engineers.
  • Stood up a dedicated staging environment, enabling safer releases, feature validation, and automated integration testing before production rollouts.
  • Introduced observability and tracing (metrics, logging, distributed tracing), improving our ability to debug performance issues and maintain reliability at scale.

What We Offer

🚀 A mission-driven culture with low ego, high ownership, deep customer obsession, and exceptional talent density 🍽️ Free lunch and dinner in the office 🌴 Flexible PTO ✈️ Quarterly team offsites

Join Doppel Doppel is the first platform built to dismantle digital deception at scale. We scan over 150 billion entities daily and deploy continuously adaptive AI SOC agents, paired with expert human analysts, to uncover and disrupt the infrastructure behind phishing, impersonation, and online fraud before attacks can spread. Our Threat Grid turns every customer signal into shared intelligence, making each disruption smarter, faster, and more effective.

We’re not just another cybersecurity company. We’re defining the future of social engineering defense, where trust is protected, and deception becomes unprofitable.
