Our take
Why Ditto
Offline-first CRDT sync in defense and airline-scale deployments — FDE-shaped because the problem is hard, not because the title is fashionable.
- FDE type
- True forward-deployed
- Travel
- High
- Comp
- Undisclosed
- Stage
- Growth-stage
A good fit if you're…
- Distributed-systems engineers who like edge and offline environments
- Former SREs who enjoy on-site production troubleshooting
- Candidates interested in a DC/defense seat without a pure defense employer
What they do
Ditto builds an edge-sync database that lets devices share data peer to peer, even offline or on intermittent networks. The board cites $145M in funding and customers including Delta, Chick-fil-A and the US military.
What “forward deployed” means here
You lead on-site architecture, deployment and configuration of Ditto data hubs in secure, distributed networks, and design peer-to-peer sync across edge devices using CRDTs. It asks for 5+ years in software, FDE or SRE work with hands-on production troubleshooting — a systems seat, not solutions engineering.
Comp & leveling
Comp is not disclosed on the board. Senior-level expectations and a defense customer base suggest competitive base pay; ask whether cleared or DC-based seats carry a premium.
Growth signals
Five FDE postings across SF, remote and Washington, DC show a deployment team scaling alongside its enterprise and government footprint. The mix of commercial and defense customers diversifies the risk that pure defense-tech seats carry.
