Why Now

2024 has been an exciting year for Doppler. After raising our $20M Series A from CRV in 2022, we have now helped over 41,000 startups and enterprises manage their secrets at scale. After building the community, it is time to scale and monetize. Throughout this year, we’re getting far more ambitious by setting even higher product, growth, sales, and hiring goals!

About Doppler

Doppler's mission is to make it easy and secure for developers of every experience level and teams of any size to manage their app configuration and secrets. But hasn't this been done?

Developers tend to be either struggling with the manual management of .env files, or wrestling with an overly complex secrets manager that's not built for software development. Doppler is changing that by making app configuration and secrets management easy, intuitive, and scalable. It's the SecretOps platform built by developers for developers.

Our team is entrepreneurial, with a bias for action. We never back down from a spirited debate and believe we are all responsible for exploring the hard questions. We value self-awareness and meaningful impact. We are open to unconventional approaches and have learned not to judge a book by its cover. Your time is your most valuable resource, so you set your hours. We use Slack to communicate and default to zero meetings. We aim to document everything. We also recommend you invest your time in 10% compounding time.

Who We Are

Doppler is a SecretOps platform that enables developers and security teams to keep their secrets secure and in sync wherever they run their code. SecretOps is the set of security philosophies, frameworks, and tools used to operationalize secrets at scale.

The Role

You will be the driving force of our customer adoption and revenue growth, serving as the primary contact for our mid-market and small-business/startup customers. Your role extends beyond traditional account management and customer success; you will lead and improve onboarding, deployment, and growth of the Doppler platform. Collaborating with Sales, Support, Product, and Finance teams, you'll ensure a seamless customer experience, increasing adoption and delivering exceptional time-to-value. In this dynamic role, you become the day-to-day liaison, building trusted relationships and playing a pivotal role in our customers’ success and Doppler’s revenue growth.

As a Customer Success Manager, you'll oversee a diverse portfolio of customers at various stages of their Secrets Management journey. You'll have the opportunity to engage with every team and connect with all our awesome Dopplerites!

Closing

We've built a great product our customers love. Our churn is low, and active usage continues to rise. We just need to amplify our reach to educate the market that secrets management can be fast, secure, and affordable for teams and organizations of any size. And most importantly, we need to continue encouraging Developers to stop adhering to archaic insecure standards such as manually managing .env file formats.
