What

we

do

Our Software Engineers are end-to-end owners who will participate in all aspects of designing, building, and delivering data-focused products for our stakeholders.

At The Trade Desk we believe that each opportunity to engage with all internal and external stakeholders, is unique. This means

y

ou will have the opportunity, based on your interests and background, to work on large-scale distributed systems coordinating thousands of servers in cloud and physical data centers around the world, petabyte-scale data challenges, machine learning, advanced visualizations, and

interactive user interfaces

– to name a few.

Our system performs all day, every day serving global traffic. It’s important we focus on quality at scale

in an agile environment that is based on collaboration, ownership, and trust.

Our software engineering teams

fully

own

their charter

to

work on long term roadmaps while enhancing existing features or tools and continuously gaining efficiency.

What you’ll do:

It’s the best of both worlds—you'll get a chance to exercise your technical leadership and build up your people management and leadership skills. Some of the work that you will be doing to help us deliver on our mission includes the following:

Technical leadership:

Actively review design and code.

Deliver meaningful technical and hands-on contributions to the team's objectives.

Understand strategic business priorities and communicate with the team on how their work fits into the roadmap.

Project level processes and execution:

Collaborate with the PM (product management) team to develop the roadmap and MVP plans.

Develop execution plans (resources, milestones, and timelines) for the roadmaps.

Continuously analyze and optimize team efficiency.

Establish and deliver on team commitments.

Measure and maintain/improve the quality of the team's contributions.

Communicate important developments and changes to area leadership and other stakeholders.

Manage a small team.

Help team members develop career growth plans.

Give regular and effective feedback.

Hold weekly 1:1 meetings with direct reports.

Annual reviews and compensation recommendations.

Build new features and components in our developer tools, processes, and services

Improve existing features and components to increase efficiency across our engineering organization

Review code from your peers and grow others through example, mentorship, and teaching

Drive complex changes involving multiple components and complex systems run by other software engineers

Build components and processes that are used by other engineers across the organization

Leverage data to analyze opportunities and communicate the impact of your work on operational efficiency

We are a global team with different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. To complement this team, you will welcome ideas that are different from your own and be well-versed in building from common ground to value, seek out, and foster invisible and visible dimensions of diversity.

Who you are:

Our culture is much deeper than just having fun together (though we do that well, too). We take pride in our engineers being trust-builders, generous givers, scrappy problem solvers, and gritty pursuers of excellence. You do not have to meet all the requirements below, but we believe that people who meet most of them will have a higher likelihood of succeeding in this role:

You care deeply about improving developer experience, tools, and engineering processes

You drive innovative solutions while being sensitive to the current needs and realities of your fellow engineers

You have experience in leading and completing projects with a high degree of technical ambiguity.

You have experience in working with non-technical stakeholders.

You have experience in hiring and conducting interviews.

You have 11+ years of software development engineering experience.

You have 1+ years of experience directly managing people.

You have a Bachelor’s/Master’s level degree in computer science or relevant engineering-related field or equivalent experience. Not everyone has the same level of access to opportunities. What is most important to us is what and how you can contribute, which is why our consideration is not limited by the level of education you have.

You have additional nice-to-have experience in the following areas:

Proficiency with a modern language such as C# or Java

Experience working in large codebases, organizing and refactoring

Experience with configuration management

Experience with continuous integration and continuous deployment

Experience with configuration and management in cloud / virtualization environments (AWS, Azure, Docker, Kubernetes, et al)

A variety of technical opportunities is one of the best things about working at The Trade Desk as a software engineer, which is why we do not expect you to know every technology we use when you start. What we care about is that you can learn quickly and find solutions to complex problems using the optimum tools for the job.What you know is less important than how well you learn and innovate. We are not seeking engineers who know all the answers; we need engineers who can invent answers no one has thought of yet and find answers to the questions yet to be asked.
