About the position
Ditto aims to expand the internet beyond traditional reach. Our groundbreaking software empowers devices to synchronize data in real-time, using cutting-edge, peer-to-peer database technology that runs on mobile, web, IoT, and server systems, automatically syncing data changes.
The ideal candidate has professional experience with C++ and previous work experience developing SDKs, libraries, APIs, and developer tools. You are also an outstanding communicator and will work with a remote team, manage your own time, and tackle interesting problems. Some travel is required for team-wide and company-wide offsite meetups.
The SDKs team at Ditto is responsible for building and distributing SDKs for several language bindings and platforms, such as JavaScript, Android, iOS, C#, .NET, MAUI, Xamarin, React Native, Rust, C++, and Flutter.
As the Senior SDK Engineer, you will:
- Assume responsibility for overseeing the development and maintenance of the Ditto C++ SDK to ensure its alignment with industry-leading standards for C++ SDKs.
- Expose public APIs to the C++ SDK that feel native.
- Ensure the SDK is compatible across a range of architectures and platforms.
- Write extensive tests to improve the quality of the SDK.
- Collaborate with the QA department to ensure the quality of the SDK.
- Work closely with the support and sales teams to debug customer issues.
- Mentor the team and advocate best practices in the C++ programming language.
What you'll need:
- Strong expertise in the C++ programming language
- Modern C++ (move constructors, destructors, virtual methods).
- Experience working with C libraries (linkage and compilation, C FFI)
- Strong communication skills, particularly written communication skills. As a fully distributed team, async communication is the norm, and the development process often includes written architecture and design documents.
Nice to Haves:
- Experience working with build systems, in particular but not limited to Makefile & CMake (e.g. Nix, Bazel, Cargo, etc.)
- Experience working with Rust FFIs and unsafe code
- Experience working with mobile SDKs (iOS, Android, etc.)
- Fluency in other programming languages for which Ditto publishes a native SDK (e.g., Kotlin/Java, Swift, Rust, JavaScript, or C#)
