Senior Software Engineer, Cloud
About The Position
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. 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.
