• Lead the development and maintenance of Ditto's networking stack by designing and implementing secure authentication flows, encryption protocols, and access controls.
• Contribute to protocol design, transport abstraction, and system-level performance improvements.
• Collaborate with security and infrastructure teams to continuously audit, harden, and optimize network security and authorization (RBAC) mechanisms.
• Collaborate with other engineers and product teams to deliver end-to-end features that reach real-world users.

• Understanding of networking as well as application layer routing and communication protocols.
• Comfort working with distributed systems or edge-deployed services.
• Ability to reason about concurrency, performance, and fault-tolerant architectures.
• Strong collaboration skills as you'll work cross-team particularly closely with product and relevant team engineers spread across the globe.
