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 act as the first line of defense, working closely with product and engineering partners to understand and resolve issues at their root. From creating tools that enable self-service support to collaborating with senior technology leaders at Fortune 500 companies, you’ll help us scale world-class support operations as we grow. This is a hands-on, high-impact role ideal for someone excited to work at the intersection of product, engineering, and customer success.

- Respond to live escalations and production incidents, coordinating with internal teams and customer stakeholders.
- Participate in a 24⁄7 on-call rotation to support critical customer needs.
- Collaborate with Engineering to communicate incident status and contribute to root cause analyses.
- Build tools and automation to improve support workflows and reduce response time.
- Use AI and other tools to create self-service opportunities for routine incidents.
- Advocate for customer needs and influence product improvements based on real-world feedback.
- Continuously sharpen your troubleshooting skills through exposure to challenging technical problems.
What you’ll need:
- Have 5+ years of experience in technical support engineering or software engineering roles.
- Ability to translate complex and ambiguous problem sets into clear hypotheses and solutions.
- Deep experience in at least one relevant subject area like Operating Systems, Cloud Infrastructure, Kubernetes, Networking, Databases, Distributed Systems, etc.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or similar experience.
- Ability to read and follow code and GitHub commits to understand recent change.
- Customer-facing soft skills including active listening, customer empathy, and expectation-setting.
Nice to haves:
- Prior experience in a hyper-growth company
- A passion for building support functions and enablement from 0 to 1
- Track record of building strong relationships with Fortune 500 companies
