What the job involves
- Our groundbreaking software empowers devices to synchronize data in real-time, using cutting-edge, peer-to-peer database technology that runs on mobile, web, IoT, and server systems, automatically syncing data changes
- Ditto is at the forefront of edge computing innovation, providing a powerful edge sync platform that enables seamless real-time data synchronization across devices
- Ditto Federal, a wholly-owned subsidiary, focuses on delivering our cutting-edge solutions to the federal government, particularly the Department of Defense
- Our mission is to leverage Ditto's core IP to create additional products and services that meet the unique needs of government customers
- We are seeking an experienced product engineer to design, implement and test mission critical applications that enable optimized command and control and situational awareness using Ditto's technology
- You will work on a small team, partnered with end-users, that handles the full end-to-end implementation from design, coding, testing, deployment, and operational support and troubleshooting
- Help Ditto’s Federal team solve complex issues with our solutions, e.g., resolving questions on SDKs, architecture, performance, scaling and everything in between
- Be an expert on best practices for developing mobile applications using Ditto at scale
- Advocate for customers’ needs, working with the engineering and product teams to debug and reproduce problem reports and escalate problems to include other team members as needed
- Work with the developers and product managers to design and build interfaces (UI and API) to meet their needs
- Support application development teams with delivery requirements and pipelines (security/authentication, integration and test, and production distributions)
Our take
While it's convenient to assume that all the data an app needs is always located in a single place, the reality is more messy. Multi-cloud platforms, IoT devices with varied or limited connectivity and even smartphones can hold necessary data for many applications. The problem for developers is how to tame, access and use this data. Ditto exists to fix this, providing a distributed database that pulls and synchronises data from edge devices and the cloud.
Able to operate even in locations without internet, using peer-to-peer WiFi, Bluetooth and wired networks to pull data together, it is provides a layer of infrastructure which is increasingly required as IoT picks up steam. However, it is not the only entrant in this growing market, and faces competition from the likes of Whalesync, PieSync and Grouparoo.
While most of these companies provide the same kind of functionality, Ditto's large and growing customer base in the tens of thousands (including the likes of the US Air Force, Lufthansa and Japan Airlines) indicates that its product is a strong competitor in this space. It has also attracted the attention of investors, most recently closing a hefty Series A round. It intends to use this funding to almost double its headcount and to focus on commercializing its product.
