Senior Software Engineer, ditto

• 5+ years of software engineering experience in backend, infrastructure or systems domains
• Strong expertise with Kubernetes, including deploying clusters, building custom operators/controllers, CRDs, service mesh, etc
• Experience building and managing CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, automation tooling and developer tooling
• Understanding of observability (metrics, tracing, logs), monitoring, error handling, reliability engineering
• Excellent written and verbal communication. You’ll be working across teams and often asynchronously

Desirable

• As a Senior Software Engineer on the Platform team, you’ll design and build the core infrastructure that enables Ditto to scale seamlessly across thousands of devices and clusters - whether deployed in airplanes, factories, cruise ships or mission-critical environments with limited connectivity.
• This role is perfect for engineers who thrive at the intersection of infrastructure automation and distributed systems. You’ll be responsible for evolving Ditto’s Kubernetes-based platform, crafting high-performance backend services in Rust, and ensuring our systems are secure, observable, and self-healing at scale
• Architect, build, and maintain core platform services and infrastructure that power Ditto’s runtime, orchestration, and cloud control planes
• Design and implement Kubernetes operators and controllers to manage Ditto’s platform components, custom resources, and lifecycle automation
• Work with Rust as a primary backend language
• Collaborate with SRE and Product teams to define interfaces, contracts, and deployment strategies
• Participate in design reviews, RFCs, and system architecture discussions
• Mentor other engineers, raise the standard of quality (tests, documentation, code reviews, reliability)
• Troubleshoot production issues, root-cause failures, and contribute to incident responses
