What You Will Do:

Our Staff Engineers are end-to-end owners. As a member of the infrastructure team, you will be responsible for the scalability, performance, reliability, and visibility of Ventura TV OS’ cloud services:

Collaborate with application teams to design, implement, and manage scalable and efficient services and infrastructure.
Monitor system performance, troubleshoot issues, and optimize services and infrastructure for maximum availability and efficiency.
Ensure best operation, security and compliance practices are defined and implemented.

Who You Are:

We are seeking a highly motivated software engineer with a passion for infrastructure to join the team:

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 understand modern data-intensive systems, and have an interest in service’s scalability, performance, reliability and visibility. What you know is less important than how well you learn and innovate. Deep understanding of cloud services and Kubernetes is preferred but not required.
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 will welcome ideas that are different from your own, 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.

What We Care About:

What and how you can contribute is what’s important to us. Our consideration is not limited by the kind of education you have or the specific technologies you have experience with. Variety of technical challenge is one of the best things about working at The Trade Desk as an engineer, but 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 solve complex problems using the best tools for the job.
