Senior Software Engineer- Networking Security

Atlanta, Georgia- United States, Remote

About Ditto:

Ditto is on a mission to unleash the full power of edge devices by removing all the plumbing required to build amazing applications. We bridge the digital divide by enabling real-time data synchronization—even when internet connectivity is limited or non-existent. Our peer-to-peer technology is trusted by major customers like Chick-fil-A and Delta Airlines, and we also work closely with the U.S. military on mission-critical connectivity solutions. As a fast-growing startup poised for a future IPO, our team is globally distributed, and our core values are trust, communication, and continuous improvement. We celebrate diversity and strive to create a team that encompasses a wide range of backgrounds, skill sets, and perspectives.

About the position

Ready to shape the future of mesh networking?

Join a team at the forefront of next-generation network technology at Ditto. We're expanding our core network stack and building high-performance solutions in next-generation networking, including routing protocols, end-to-end connectivity, transport mechanisms, and edge platforms for mesh systems.

Work remotely, set your own schedule, and solve complex, meaningful problems. At Ditto, we are proud to be an equal opportunity employer with a diverse, global team. We believe that inclusive teams drive innovation, and we’re committed to fostering a workplace that values a wide range of backgrounds, perspectives, and talents.

As a Software Engineer, you will:

• Lead the development of core edge services that power Ditto's mesh-based systems.
• Build software that manages peer discovery, multi-hop communication, and routing across unreliable or dynamic networks.
• Design clean, efficient APIs that allow higher-level applications to interact with the mesh layer.
• 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.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working at the intersection of software engineering and networking, and wants to help shape the future of decentralized, edge-based systems.

What you’ll Need

• 2–5 years of professional software engineering experience.
• Solid background in networking, backend or systems-level development.
• Proficiency in at least one programming language such as Rust, C++, Go or similar.
• Experience designing and consuming APIs for higher level abstraction.
• 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.

Nice to Haves

• Familiarity with networking concepts like routing protocols, transport layers, and peer-to-peer communication.
• Some experience with security standards, performance and throughput optimizations at system level.
• Familiarity with Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs)
• Experience implementing or working with communication protocols.
• Some experience with or high level of interest in Rust.
• Strong written communication skills (as we operate asynchronously and value well-structured design docs).
• Willingness to travel once per quarter for in-person team gatherings.
