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.
About the Program
Our Engineering Internship gives students hands-on experience building production software at a company whose core product is a distributed database and sync engine. You'll be paired with a mentor, embedded in a specific engineering team, and given ownership over a well-scoped project that ships by the end of the internship.
Format: Onsite, full-time, based in our Atlanta office
Ideal for: Undergraduate or graduate students studying Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
Duration: August 24th, 2026 - December 17th, 2026
What You'll Do
Design, build, and ship a real feature or improvement within Ditto's platform, SDKs, or internal tooling
Write clean, well-tested code and participate in code review with senior engineers
Collaborate with your team through planning, standups, and design discussions
Debug and troubleshoot issues across a distributed systems stack, gaining exposure to networking, data replication, and offline-first architecture
Present your project and what you learned to the broader engineering team at the end of the internship
What We're Looking For
Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field
Strong fundamentals in data structures, algorithms, and at least one modern programming language (e.g., Swift, Kotlin, C++, TypeScript, Go, or Rust)
Coursework, projects, or prior internship experience involving backend systems, mobile development, or distributed systems is a plus, but not required
Genuine curiosity about how sync, networking, and offline-first systems work under the hood
Comfortable asking questions, taking feedback, and working through ambiguity
Able to work onsite in our Atlanta office for the full duration of the program
