Software Engineer Intern

Job Description

WHO WE ARE:

The Trade Desk is a global technology company with a mission to make the Internet better for everyone – consumers, content owners, and marketers – by fixing the way advertising is bought and sold.

Our platform operates at an unprecedented scale. Handling over 10 million requests per second, we process more queries than searches on Google, tweets on Twitter, and snaps on Snapchat – combined. It doesn't get much bigger or faster than this. And after nearly 10 years of being among the fastest growing companies in the world, we are still just getting started...

We have also built something even stronger and more valuable: an award-winning culture based on trust, empathy, collaboration, and ownership. Every day our teams work across lines that often divide at other companies -- because we are more than builders, more than innovators, more than visionaries or problem solvers... We are a team who through shared challenges, setbacks, and successes, has become more than the sum of our parts.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING:

As a Software Engineer Intern at The Trade Desk, you will:

• Own and ship a meaningful project, end-to-end. We believe strongly in ownership at The Trade Desk, and we are committed to you having something substantial to show for your time here
• Receive close, one-on-one mentorship from an experienced software engineer
• Collaborate with a globally-connected team of other engineers & interns in cities across the world
• Work with new technologies across a wide spectrum of computer science, including: distributed systems, petabyte-scale data processing, machine learning/AI, and UI/UX
• Have the opportunity to visit and work from another Trade Desk office during your internship

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

You might be a great fit for a Software Engineer internship at The Trade Desk if:

• You are fluent in one or more modern object-oriented programming languages
• You have a firm grasp on basic data structures and algorithmic techniques
• You are a quick and self-directed learner. We provide close support and mentorship, but you will have ownership over the design, plan, and implementation of what you build.
• You can work in one of our physical office locations for the duration of your internship. Roles are available in Boulder/Denver CO, Bellevue WA, Irvine CA, Ventura/Santa Barbara CA, San Jose/San Francisco CA, New York NY, Chicago, IL, Sydney, and London

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR:

Do you want to work on a meaningful and impactful project that makes a difference? Are you eager to innovate? – to work on unsolved problems where you are responsible for the outcome? Do you want unique, large-scale, and highly complex challenges involving technology that is brand-new to you?

If this sounds like you, we welcome your application and invite you to find out why Fortune Magazine recently named The Trade among the best small to medium-sized workplaces in the US.
