Why Join Doppel

Doppel is building the future of social engineering defense. 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.

Backed by leading investors including Andreessen Horowitz and Bessemer Venture Partners, and trusted by leading enterprises, Doppel is a rapidly growing Series C startup building the future of social engineering defense. 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 and scale an automated system to manage a variety of Security Analyst tasks. We aim to verify and neutralize threats in minutes using AI-driven automation. A few examples of the work we’ve done recently:

  • Built a sophisticated LLM engine to reduce verification workloads by 4x for the highest volume product line, which will enable faster takedowns at scale

  • Built a QA & data labeling tool to close the feedback loop with human analysts, ML models, and LLM agents

As part of our SF team (in-office min 3x/week), you’ll:

  • Play a critical role in building systems that protect billions of people from AI-generated scams and general digital harm

  • Have complete end to end ownership - from directly collecting product requirements to continuously evaluating and iterating on shipped releases

  • Mentor junior engineers, foster a high-performing team culture, and shape the team roadmap

  • Enjoy monthly in-person dinners, happy hours, and social activities (Exploratorium, Valkyries game, etc.)

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

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. Backed by top-tier investors and trusted by some of the world’s most recognized brands, Doppel is growing fast. If you’re driven to solve real-world problems with bold technology, we’d love to meet you.
