## Job description

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.

## About the Position

The Senior IT Systems Engineer will be focused on increasing automation across Ditto’s IT operations. They will be responsible for building infrastructure as code, monitoring and managing core IT services. This role will require approximately 30% of their time in help desk support, but the goal is to automate that away. Ditto is a highly technical and sophisticated work force capable of self helping if given the systems to do so. One of the main goals of this role is to build the automations to enable this.

While this is a remote position, it is only for the Atlanta area. There will be an expectation to make trips to the office for special projects or troubleshooting, but there is no expectation for regularly working out of the office.

## Key Responsibilities

- Own converting the configuration management for key services to infrastructure as code. This will mean understanding the business needs and processes around the service, required approvers and approval workflows and how to capture these requirements in technical controls.
- One of the first big projects will be converting a GitHub instance to use Enterprise Managed Users with a Terraform driven configuration workflow.
- Triaging and prioritizing automation projects based on statistics gathered through our ITSM.
- Working with the security team to implement new security controls, apply system hardening and monitoring.
- Documenting system run books and inventory.

## What You'll Need

- 6+ years of relevant experience
- US Citizenship and the ability to get clearance
- An eye for quality, correctness, scale and consistency
- Interested in the process and procedures on how things get done, not just getting it done
- Strong experience in Terraform with the ability to implement new workflows and train others
- Experience with FleetDM and building policies and reports to detect and prevent issues
- Experience in macOS and Linux desktop support and troubleshooting
- A history of defining and automating manual IT processes
- Strong understanding of identity management including SAML, OIDC, and SCIM

Nice to Haves

- Experience in Okta administration
- Strong scripting skills in at least one common programming language such as Python
- Experience working in government or defense under CMMC, FedRAMP or similar regulatory environments
- Datadog experience and the ability to build dashboards and alerts
- Background in managing AWS, GCP or similar cloud provider
- Experience in Nix
- Experience with Tracecat or an equivalent SOAR

The Benefits of Building with Us We offer competitive salaries and meaningful equity. We believe everyone on the team should have a stake in what we’re building. Benefits vary by region to make sure you're covered in the ways that matter most. In the US, that includes health, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance, plus a 401(k) and flexible spending accounts. Regardless of where you live, everyone at Ditto can utilize flexible time off. And while we work remotely, our Atlanta office is always open if you ever want a place to work or meet up with teammates.

Apply Anyway At Ditto, we know game-changers don’t always come wrapped in a “perfect” resume. Years of experience? Every single bullet point checked? Meh. That’s not what drives us. What does matter?

- Grit.
- Curiosity.
- Adaptability.
- And a genuine spark for what we’re building.

So if you’re fired up about our mission but not sure you tick every box - hit that apply button anyway. Use your application to show us how you’ll make an impact here. We’re always on the lookout for exceptional humans who want to grow, stretch, and build something meaningful with us.

## About Ditto

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Ditto provides an edge-native, offline-first distributed database with built-in peer-to-peer networking, enabling devices to sync data resiliently without relying on a centralized server or constant internet connectivity.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series B)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, United States
- **Founded**: 2018
- **Founders**: Adam Fish (CEO) and co-founders

## Core Business
- Primary industry/industries: Edge Computing, Distributed Databases, Developer Infrastructure, Peer-to-Peer Networking
- Target customers: B2B — primarily enterprises in aviation (Delta, Japan Airlines, Lufthansa), logistics, retail, manufacturing, and public sector; also serves developers building mobile or IoT applications.
- Mission or purpose statement: To make data resilient and accessible anywhere, on any device, by replacing complex data infrastructure with a simple, peer-to-peer database.

## Products & Services
- **Ditto Edge Sync SDK**: An embeddable software development kit (SDK) that allows mobile or edge devices to store, sync, and process data locally via Bluetooth, P2P WiFi, or LAN — without needing a cloud server. It uses CRDT (Conflict-free Replicated Data Type) technology for automatic conflict resolution.
- **Ditto Cloud Sync (Bidirectional Cloud Connector)**: An option that syncs data from edge devices to existing cloud databases (e.g., MongoDB) when internet is available, providing a hybrid architecture.
- **Ditto Server**: A self-managed or edge server deployment option for customers who need dedicated infrastructure.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: $462 million post-money (Series B, March 2025)
- **Key Metric**: Total Funding of $136 million (Seed: $9M in 2021; Series A: $45M in 2023; Series B: $82M in 2025)
- **Annual Revenue**: Estimated at $3.0M per LinkedIn (private company, not officially disclosed); ARR grew 250% in the year prior to March 2025
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Lead investors: Acrew Capital, Top Tier Capital Partners. Participants include True Ventures, Amity Ventures, Advance Venture Partners, Fundrise, Internet Initiative Japan (IIJ). Key strategic partner: MongoDB (native Connector launched).
- **Growth Signals**: Customer count doubled to 30+ (incl. major airlines); secured a $950M contract with the U.S. Air Force (2022); headcount grew 16% YoY to 131 employees; acquired Kubernetes consultancy SuperOrbital and KeySquare Labs in 2025.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Edge-Native Architecture**: Unlike traditional databases, Ditto is built for mobile and edge devices from the ground up, not retrofitted. It replaces physical edge servers with software on devices like smartphones, eliminating costly hardware.
- **Offline-First & Resilient**: Apps can read, write, and process data completely offline; mesh networks form automatically and sync opportunistically when connections are available.
- **Peer-to-Peer Mesh Networking**: Built-in support for BLE, P2P WiFi, and LAN allows devices to discover each other and sync directly, without a centralized cloud or server bottleneck.
- **CRDT-Powered Conflict Resolution**: Automatically resolves concurrency conflicts in decentralized systems without requiring a central arbiter.
- **Developer-Friendly**: Supports all major mobile and frontend frameworks (Flutter, React, SwiftUI, Jetpack Compose) with simple query-based APIs.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scaling the team and product** (Series B funds allocated to growth).
- **Forging deeper cloud database partnerships** (building on MongoDB Connector and seeking more).
- **Capitalizing on AI edge computing tailwinds**: enabling real-time AI model inference at the edge with low latency and improved data privacy.
- **Expanding into public sector and government** (dedicated public sector team, Air Force contract).
- **Growing international presence** (operations in 15 countries, team across 5 continents).

## Why Work Here
- **Built Remote-First, Globally Distributed**: Ditto has been fully remote since its founding in 2018. The team spans 5 continents and 15 countries (including the US, UK, Netherlands, France, Japan, Sweden). HQ is in SF but operational flexibility is a core principle.
- **Culture Anchored in Values**: The company emphasizes Trust, Communication, and Continual Improvement. Employees describe the environment as focused on “builders” who enjoy deep technical challenges.
- **Engineering-Heavy Team**: 36% of employees are in technical roles (engineering, data sync, networking, Bluetooth, platform). Strong talent attraction from companies like MongoDB, Couchbase, dbt Labs, and Pinecone, indicating a high-caliber engineering culture.
- **High-Growth Trajectory**: ARR grew 250%, customer count doubled, and headcount grew 16% YoY. Recent acquisitions signal aggressive expansion.
- **Remote/Office Policy**: Remote-first; no mandatory in-office requirement, though SF HQ exists as an option.
- **Notable Perks & Approach**: Focus on autonomy and deep technical ownership; frequent hiring for senior-level roles (23% seniority); strong support for open-source and peer-to-peer technology.
