• 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.

• 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.

We offer competitive salaries and meaningful equity. We believe everyone on the team should have a stake in what we’re building. Benefits vary by region to make sure you’re covered in the ways that matter most. In the US, that includes health, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance, plus a 401(k) and flexible spending accounts.

Regardless of where you live, everyone at Ditto can utilize flexible time off. And while we work remotely, our Atlanta office is always open if you ever want a place to work or meet up with teammates.

Apply Anyway

What does matter?

• Grit.
• Curiosity.
• Adaptability.
• And a genuine spark for what we’re building.
