The Trade Desk
Staff Software Engineer - Release Team
The Trade Desk, Denver, Colorado, United States, 80285
Who we are:
The Trade Desk is a global technology company with a mission to create a better, more open internet for everyone through principled, intelligent advertising. Handling over 1 trillion queries per day, our platform operates at an unprecedented scale. We have also built something even stronger and more valuable: an award-winning culture based on trust, ownership, empathy, and collaboration.
We value the unique experiences and perspectives that each person brings to The Trade Desk, and we are committed to fostering inclusive spaces where everyone can bring their authentic selves to work every day.
Do you have a passion for solving hard problems at scale? Are you eager to join a dynamic, globally-connected team where your contributions will make a meaningful difference in building a better media ecosystem? Come and see why Fortune magazine consistently ranks The Trade Desk among the best small- to medium-sized workplaces globally.
What we do:
You will have the opportunity to work with the team that is responsible for how we ship our software to production. This role will incorporate stakeholder needs across the engineering organization to drive positive improvements to our overall developer productivity and our release process. You will own features end-to-end, and work on long-term strategic work to enhance existing features or tools and continuously improve the efficiency of our deployment processes. This team works along with other teams focused on the remaining aspects of the SDLC lifecycle and hence you will be partnering with them to drive changes to our systems.
Our system performs every day, 24/7, serving global traffic. We build a distributed system in a highly collaborative environment, utilizing a broad range of technologies. Our backend developers work on finding solutions to algorithmic, optimization, and scale challenges in everything we do.
What you will do:
Some of the work that you will be doing to help us deliver on our mission is:
Develop continuous deployment (CD) platform at scale. You’re building this platform for anyone who wants to develop software across the company, not for one team or one project. This platform needs to be cloud native (CNCF standard), extensible, configurable, and makes the deployment process intuitive for anyone across the company.
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.
Welcome ideas that are different from your own and be well-versed in building from common ground to value, seeking out, and fostering 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 5+ 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:
Proficiency with a modern language such as C#, Java, Golang, or Python.
Experience working in large codebases, organizing and refactoring.
Experience with configuration management.
Experience with continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD).
Experience with configuration and management in cloud/virtualization environments (AWS, Azure, Docker, Kubernetes, et al).
Experience with using or extending ArgoCD, Argo Rollouts, Spinnaker, or any cloud-native CI/CD platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP).
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.
