With more than $145 million in funding and trusted by organizations like Chick-fil-A, Delta Airlines, and the U.S. military, Ditto powers mission-critical experiences across aviation, retail, travel, hospitality, defense, and more. As a globally distributed, fast-growing startup, we’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive team that reflects the wide range of perspectives needed to solve the world’s hardest connectivity problems.

You'll also serve as a key feedback loop into our core product engineering team, translating what you learn from real-world usage into clear technical insights and product requirements. This role is well-suited to a highly adaptable problem-solver who is comfortable moving fast, navigating ambiguity, and figuring things out quickly to deliver reliable software. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES - Develop and Extend ATAK Plugins: Lead the design, development, and field deployment of custom ATAK (Android Team Awareness Kit) plugins that integrate our platform's data synchronization capabilities directly into the warfighter's primary situational awareness tool. - Build Android-Native Integrations: Architect and develop performant Android applications and services that run on tactical end-user de
