What we do:
Our Software Engineers are end-to-end owners who have the opportunity to
participate in many aspects of designing, building, and delivering
data-focused products for our stakeholders.
At The Trade Desk, we believe that each opportunity to engage with consumers
is unique. User experience can make or break our business. This means our
users must have all the flexibility to harness our system's growing power
and present meaningful insight from the petabytes of data streaming through
our platform with unparalleled ease.
Our system performs every day, 24/7, serving global traffic. We deliver
features to improve our clients' abilities to make real-time decisions and
troubleshoot campaigns with simple-to-use interfaces and high-performance data
interactions. To improve our users' day-to-day lives, we collaborate
closely with user experience and product management organizations to ensure
consistent, modern designs as well as the right balance of requirements. Our
frontend developers work up and down the stack (client to server) to
deliver these world-class experiences.
What you'll do:
Some of the work that you will be doing to help us deliver on our mission is:
Design, build, deliver, and own full lifecycle development software from
inception to production
Collaborate with team members to deliver features
Implement and maintain product features
Validate changes to ensure high quality product releases
Work in a distributed system environment
Understand the business objectives behind the code
Understand system architecture fundamentals through self-directed learning
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 are comfortable working on an agile, distributed team spanning multiple
time zones and continents.
You are able to communicate effectively across both technical and
non-technical audiences.
You have a solid understanding of computer science and engineering
fundamentals.
You are passionate about building beautiful and seamless user interfaces.
You have love for, and desire to advance, the state of the artof technology.
You are trained in JavaScript/TypeScript.
You have 7+ years of software development engineering experience.
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:
languages/technology on the server-side (C#, Java, NodeJS,
SQL), building enterprise level services or web-based user experiences,
knowledge of front-end frameworks (React/Redux).
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.
