Max, CoFounder of Ditto here

So happy to see the support from the Hacker News community.

I should mention Ditto is a massively ambitious company, we are doing fantastic with traction across major industries.

Our entire core code base is written in Rust and I know HN goes crazy for Rust. If you’re really interested in working on very hard problems like CRDTs, partial replication, query based replication, peer to peer adhoc sync, mesh network or distributed security: please definitely take a look at our openings.

You’ll work on problems that are incredibly difficult, unique and rewarding that you won’t find anywhere else!

I'm always curious in general for people hiring in somewhat less popular languages like Rust: Do you consider people without any Rust experience?

Adam (cofounder) - Yes we evaluate applicants holistically. Rust is still newish and we have a mix of team members that came with lots of experience to just some familiarity. I have a strong philosophy that Ditto's success starts with a great team (build the inputs to get outputs concept), so aptitude is a major factor - please apply if interested!

Hi Max, this is a really cool technology and touches a lot of areas I'm personally interested in. If I wasn't happy with my current job I'd even consider applying.

I had a poke around your documentation but didn't find a high level system architecture. Without having to dig into the open source code could you provide a link to somewhere I can read about the underlying data model and how it works? Do you have a paper or patent describing this technology anywhere? Thanks!

I did some digging as well and it looks like their docs have a pretty good overview [1]. (And to be perfectly honest, it looks like they've done a very thorough job with them! I'm impressed!)
