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 the Position As a Software Engineer, you'll design, build, and ship software that integrates our platform's data synchronization capabilities directly into the tools and environments where our users work. You'll own meaningful features end-to-end — from architecture and implementation through deployment — with a particular focus on mobile and integration work that meets users where they are. You'll also serve as a key feedback loop into our core product engineering team, translating what you learn from real-world usage into clear technical insights and product requirements. This role is well-suited to a highly adaptable problem-solver who is comfortable moving fast, navigating ambiguity, and figuring things out quickly to deliver reliable software. Key Responsibilities Develop and Extend ATAK Plugins: Lead the design, development, and field deployment of custom ATAK (Android Team Awareness Kit) plugins that integrate our platform's data synchronization capabilities directly into the warfighter's primary situational awareness tool. Build Android-Native Integrations: Architect and develop performant Android applications and services that run on tactical end-user devices, ensuring reliable operation in disconnected, intermittent, and low-bandwidth (DIL) environments. Design Integration Architectures: Own the end-to-end integration design between our platform and the broader TAK ecosystem, defining data contracts, API boundaries, and synchronization patterns that enable seamless interoperability with third-party systems and services. Solve Problems in Real-Time: Act as the first line of technical defense, rapidly diagnosing and resolving application, integration, and data-flow issues as they arise on end-user devices in live operational environments. What You'll Need Clearance Eligible Requirement: Must be eligible to obtain a Secret clearance (Due to federal security clearance requirements, U.S. Citizenship is strictly required for this role). 5+ years of experience in software engineering, including hands-on experience building, shipping, and maintaining production applications.
