What you'll do:

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. 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. 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.

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.

Variety of technical opportunity 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 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.
