Role

Who you are

You have a sustained track record of making significant, self-directed, and end-to-end contributions to large and impactful software projects. You think beyond just the task at hand to deeply understand the 'why' behind what you are doing
You understand engineering fundamentals. At our scale, many off-the-shelf techniques and existing technologies (open source and enterprise) simply don't work. You are able to work from first principles to evaluate solutions and adapt them to a unique environment
You have experience in data engineering. You’ve worked with SQL and web services, have expert knowledge of programming languages like C#, Python and Java, and have a working knowledge of Spark
You are a broadly skilled engineer, accustomed to developing web services. You have experience building always-on systems, working across a variety of technologies and service layers
You have a product-focused mindset. You have the passion and ability to contribute to the process of discovering what will delight our clients and push forward one of the world’s largest and most influential industries toward a vision of openness, transparency, and evidence-based decision-making
You work with confidence and without ego. Our engineers have deep knowledge and exercise a high degree of leadership in their daily work. You have strongly-held, defensible ideas, and advocate for what you believe is right. You are also adept at identifying and evaluating trade-offs, willing to be proven wrong, and quick to walk through fire to support your fellow teammates
You value, seek out, and foster diversity. We are a global team from many diverse backgrounds, with different experiences and perspectives. To complement this team, you will welcome ideas that are different from your own and be skilled at finding and building from common ground
You are a creative thinker, not bound by "the way things have always been done". What you know is less important than how well you learn and innovate. We don't need engineers who know all the answers; we need engineers who can invent the answers no one has thought of yet, to the questions yet to be asked

What the job involves

Our Senior Software Engineers & are end-to-end owners. You will participate actively in all aspects of designing, building, and delivering products for our clients
You will work with petabyte-scale data challenges, large-scale distributed systems coordinating hundreds of servers in cloud and physical data centers around the world, machine learning, natural language processing and advanced visualizations – to name a few
You will work with web scraping pipelines, ML pipelines, NLP pipelines, data processing automation, data visualization, data quality, data warehousing
Senior Engineers contribute to more than our product – they build up our team. Through a combination of mentoring, technical leadership, and/or direct management of small teams, they make others better and raise the bar for those around them
As a member of the Contextual team, your work will impact our business in every region across the globe. You will be part of a team focused on enabling our global growth and scaling our system

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.
