2025 has been a breakout year for Doppler. We’ve helped over 50,000 startups and enterprises manage their secrets at scale, and landed our first million-dollar customer. We've shipped some of our most exciting features yet, expanded our customer base, and sharpened our focus like never before. With a strong foundation in community, we're scaling and monetizing with ambitious goals across product, growth, sales, and hiring. The momentum is real, and we’re just getting started.
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.
Doppler is a developer-first secrets management platform that enables engineers and security teams to securely store their secrets across any cloud infrastructure or deployment environment at scale.
We are looking for a Staff Full Stack Engineer who can own new features and projects from inception to completion. You will be designing both frontend and backend architectures while promoting secure engineering practices in a fast-paced development environment. Typically these projects range across the stack, from building our React frontend, to extending functionality within our secrets engine that manages highly sensitive data. You will serve as a technical leader, setting architectural direction and ensuring long-term scalability of the codebase. Part of what makes Doppler loved is its simplicity and intuitiveness; we hope you can help carry that torch.

We collaborate with high trust and we are constantly trying to improve how we work and deliver software.
