The Trade Desk is a global technology company and the world’s leading independent platform for digital advertising, with nearly 4,000 employees across more than 30 offices. Our technology helps advertisers reach the right audiences across the open internet — from streaming TV and podcasts to mobile apps, news, and more.
Advertising powers the content people love. By making it more transparent, effective, and responsible, we help support trusted journalism, quality entertainment, and creators worldwide. The world’s brands and agencies rely on us to reach their customers and grow their businesses responsibly.
The scale of our platform brings unique technical challenges — from processing massive datasets in real time to building systems that operate reliably on a global scale. When you work here, your impact is worldwide. We welcome diverse perspectives, encourage curiosity, and build teams that learn from one another. If you’re driven to solve meaningful challenges, we’d love to meet you.
What we do:
Our Software Engineers are end-to-end owners: you design, build, and operate the systems that power our platform.
We are part of the High Performance Computing (HPC) team, which supplies the core bidding platform with data and guarantees its availability, freshness, and quality. Within HPC, the First Party taskforce owns how advertisers bring their own data onto our platform, and how that data is priced and monetized. Three connected domains:
Concretely: GraphQL APIs behind customer-facing workflows, Kafka-driven asynchronous pipelines moving data between services and regions, and the transactional stores that keep it all consistent — running 24/7 across multiple regions. You will work across two stacks, C#/.NET and Kotlin on the JVM, with real-time ingestion, services, and APIs spread across both — so comfort moving between languages matters more than depth in either one.
What you'll do:
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 work to build from common ground—valuing and fostering both visible and invisible dimensions of diversity.
Who you are:
Nice to have:
We care less about knowing every tool we use and more about your ability to learn quickly, think critically, and build thoughtful solutions to complex problems.
