Senior SDK Software Engineer-C++

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#)
