Technical Customer Success Manager

Job description

## **Why Now** 2026 has been a breakout year for Doppler. We’ve helped over 78,000 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 rise of AI tooling has fundamentally expanded who and what has access to your secrets. The stakes have never been higher, and getting it wrong has real consequences. Doppler is the solution to fix this. Simple to adopt, easy to scale, and built for developers, by developers. The momentum is real, and we’re just getting started. **About Doppler** Doppler's mission is to make it easy and secure for software 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](https://www.doppler.com/blog/the-triumph-and-tragedy-of-env-files), or [wrestling with an overly complex secrets manager](https://www.doppler.com/blog/doppler-vs-hashicorp-vault) that's not built for software development. 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. ## **Who We Are** 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. ## **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, implementation of Doppler, 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’ll 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 Technical Customer Success Account 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! ## **About the Team** We’re a security-first, developer-obsessed organization that genuinely cares about the quality of what we build and the success of our customers.
