About the position:

Do you love writing Rust? At Ditto we bet on the language to power our cross-platform data sync system. We are growing our team and looking for others who are similarly passionate about the language!

We’re seeking a Rust engineer to help build the foundational tooling that enables testing the entire Ditto product surface area. This includes all our native SDKs, our cloud components, and the interactions between all of these systems, and building orchestration software devices to control devices in our own purpose-built mesh lab consisting of 100 devices.

As a Senior Software Engineer you will:

• Build and maintain tooling & infrastructure that allows running simulating & testing Ditto in a wide variety of environments, from meshes of mobile devices to cloud deployments.
• Collaborate closely with other teams to ensure that tooling exists to enable them to remotely exercise the workloads and simulations they need.
• Develop command and control tooling to orchestrate fleets of devices, including the devices in our purpose-built mesh lab, and collect results from experiments and test runs.

What you’ll need:

• Excellent fluency in the Rust language.
• Ability to work in person at our Berkeley office, due to the physical hardware components.
• Past experience with mobile development (iOS, Android, etc) or a willingness to learn
• Linux skills including SSH, package installation, and basic system administration.
• Experience designing and building CI & CD pipelines.
• 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 Cargo (e.g. Gradle, Bazel, CMake, etc.).
• Experience with distributed tracing, metrics, telemetry, etc. - with a particular focus on the Rust tracing ecosystem, OpenTelemetry, and interoperability between the two.
