Front End Engineer II - Reporting

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.

• Design, build, deliver, and own full lifecycle development software from inception to production  

• Drive complex changes involving multiple components  

• Deliver quality changes, including automated tests, metrics, and monitoring   

• Collaborate with a geographically distributed team to deliver features

• You have experience building enterprise level services. 

 • You have 2-4 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 languages/technology on the server-side (C#, Java, NodeJS, SQL)

 

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.
