Staff Engineer, Data Sync & Embedded DB

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.

Responsibilities

From day one, you will own delivery across data sync, query, and embedded database workstreams, working closely with senior engineers who are deep domain experts, and partnering with product managers to translate customer needs into a focused, well‑prioritized roadmap. Operating in our async‑first culture, you will drive execution through clear written communication, ruthless prioritization, and a relentless focus on shipping. This is a people‑management role—your Staff+ engineers will rely on your technical depth and guidance. Your background and years delivering database or adjacent products mean you think about performance, quality gates, and rollout strategies for critical infrastructure.

Benefits

We offer competitive salaries and meaningful equity. In the U.S., benefits include health, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance, plus a 401(k) and flexible spending accounts. Flexible time off is available everywhere. While we work remotely, our Atlanta and San Francisco offices are open if you want a place to work or meet up with teammates.

Apply Anyway
