About Ditto: Ditto is redefining how data moves at the edge. Our mission is to make it seamless for developers to build resilient, real-time applications, regardless of network conditions. Whether you're in a stadium, airplane, or remote military base, Ditto's peer-to-peer sync engine ensures devices stay connected and data stays consistent, even without internet. With more than $145 million in funding and trusted by organizations like Chick-fil-A, Delta Airlines, and the U.S. military, Ditto powers mission-critical experiences across aviation, retail, travel, hospitality, defense, and more. As a globally distributed, fast-growing startup, we’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive team that reflects the wide range of perspectives needed to solve the world’s hardest connectivity problems. ABOUT DITTO Ditto is redefining how enterprises operate at the edge. Our edge-native database platform enables offline-first, peer-to-peer mesh networking across devices—without depending on centralized servers or constant cloud connection. By leveraging CRDTs and multi-transport sync (Bluetooth, P2P Wi-Fi, LAN), Ditto ensures data remains reliable, real-time, and accessible in mission-critical environments—from in-flight systems to retail to defense. Backed by top-tier investors and with a recent $82M Series B, Ditto is scaling fast: doubling our customer base, tripling ARR, and expanding partnerships with industry leaders like MongoDB. THE OPPORTUNITY We’re hiring a Senior or Staff Software Engineer to join our distributed systems team. This role reports directly into the organization of our incoming CTO (a proven leader from big tech). You’ll have the chance to influence not only our system architecture, but also our engineering culture as we scale from early-stage startup to global platform. WHAT YOU’LL DO - Design, build, and scale distributed systems that power Ditto’s edge-to-cloud capabilities. - Lead the development of services in Rust that integrate with Kubernetes and modern cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP). - Partner with leadership to shape system architecture, team practices, and engineering culture. - Solve complex problems around real-time sync, scalability, and fault-tolerance in heterogeneous network environments. - Mentor and collaborate with engineers across the org, raising the technical bar. WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR - 6+ years of professional software engineering experience; Senior or Staff-level track record. - Experience at scale, ideally at a FAANG or major cloud provider (Google, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, etc.). - Strong background in Rust (or equivalent systems languages like C++/Go, with willingness to ramp on Rust). - Deep understanding of Kubernetes (K8s), cloud-native architectures, and distributed systems. - Proven ability to deliver in high-scale, production environments. - Based in the United States (remote-friendly). WHY JOIN DITTO? - Impact at scale: Build foundational systems at the intersection of edge, cloud, and distributed data. - Leadership visibility: Work directly with our incoming CTO and leadership team. - Startup energy: Move fast, own big decisions, and shape the trajectory of a fast-growing company. - Strong backing: $82M in Series B funding, real traction with enterprise customers, and partnerships with global leaders.
