Staff Software Engineer, SDKs (Flutter)

The Staff Software Engineer will set the technical vision and drive the end-to-end delivery of Ditto's Flutter package, empowering developers to synchronize data in real-time across multiple platforms. This includes designing idiomatic Dart APIs, architecting cross-platform plugin modules, and building reliable bridges between Dart and Ditto's native core using Dart FFI and platform channels. The engineer will own architecture decisions, performance profiling, and release automation, while also mentoring other engineers and shaping best practices within the mobile organization. Responsibilities also include collaborating with product, design, and backend teams to translate developer-experience goals into intuitive APIs and high-performance code, diagnosing integration issues with customers and support engineers, optimizing for battery, memory, and start-up time, and iterating rapidly based on feedback. The role involves crafting clear design documents, conducting thorough code reviews, championing rigorous testing and observability, and fostering a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement. Specific duties include implementing and enhancing Flutter SDK features, delivering scoped ticket work such as adding new API methods or fixing defects, writing unit and integration tests, owning quality from test to release, participating in code reviews, collaborating cross-functionally with product, QA, and support teams, producing and maintaining documentation like README updates and code examples, and communicating progress and blockers proactively.
