Role

Who you are

Cares deeply about improving developer experience, tools, and engineering processes
Communicates clearly and empathetically; your customers are your peers and you will work with them every day
Drives innovative solutions while being sensitive to the current needs and realities of your fellow engineers
Ability to navigate differing opinions, ambiguity, and compliance requirements to build and advocate designs with clear objectives and trade-offs
If you're the kind of engineer who says "I want to fix that", or "I can see how we can make experience of our engineers better" whenever you encounter a problem, then come join us
You have a passion for solving hard problems at scale
Eager to join a dynamic, globally-connected team where your contributions will make a meaningful difference in building a better media ecosystem

What the job involves

Working on the developer tooling, processes, and productivity means speeding up all of engineering by improving the efficiency of the development process across all aspects
We design and implement processes and tools that impact everybody and help the organization continuously scale
We focus where we can have the most impact, whether it's prototyping new platform-wide technologies, improving build performance, rethinking code organization, application monitoring and alerting systems, or building completely new deployment frameworks, just to name a few
The Trade Desk's platform pushes the boundaries of modern software engineering and keeping it balanced requires tools and processes that do the same

Our take

Effective advertising in the digital age is almost impossible without the use of data to drive targeting, with first-party data commonly being used for such purposes. However, making use of such data can be difficult without the right analytic tools, and executing advertisement campaigns that make use of it can be even more challenging.

The Trade Desk provides a demand-side marketplace for building digital media campaigns, allowing businesses to plan and buy digital media, harness the power of their data, and customize publishing through APIs. The marketplace partners with over 225 data, inventory, brand safety, and publisher businesses to provide its services, whilst offering expert digital marketing advice and an e-learning platform called Edge Academy.

Whilst other advertisement marketplaces are available to businesses, The Trade Desk stands out with its approach of not only providing companies with the business partnerships they need but also advising and educating them on how to utilize them effectively. Its latest offering, Galileo, enables advertisers to onboard and activate their first-party data quickly and easily, bringing direct integrations with CRM, CDP and clean room providers, including Adobe, Amazon Web Services, Habu, InfoSum, LiveRamp, Salesforce and Snowflake.
