With over $145 million in funding and partnerships with esteemed organizations such as Chick-fil-A, Delta Airlines, and the U.S. military, Ditto is instrumental in delivering mission-critical experiences across various sectors including aviation, retail, travel, hospitality, and defense. As a rapidly expanding, globally distributed startup, we are dedicated to cultivating a diverse and inclusive team that embodies the diverse perspectives necessary to tackle the world's most challenging connectivity issues.
Currently, Ditto is at a pivotal juncture. We are entering a significant scaling phase and seek an outstanding engineering leader to spearhead our cloud product and facilitate our hyper-growth journey. This role presents a unique chance to join a fast-growing company at the outset of its rapid expansion and play a key role in shaping our technical foundation.
As the Engineering Manager of our Cloud team, you will lead a group responsible for developing cloud databases, data integration technologies (including HTTP APIs and Kafka streams), change data capture (CDC) pipelines, and connectors for various database systems. Your role will involve transforming product vision into engineering reality while translating customer requirements into robust, scalable, cloud-native designs. Collaboration with our Infrastructure group (Platform, Performance and Release Engineering, and SRE teams) will be crucial, as you will report directly to the Senior Director of Engineering - Cloud. Your objective will be to create a world-class database product supported by an operational mindset that aligns with Ditto's ambitious growth strategies.
This position is distinctive in that it places you at the crossroads of cloud-native reliability and state-of-the-art distributed database technologies (such as CRDTs), facilitating real-time data synchronization across edge devices and the cloud.
