The Trade Desk is a global technology company and the world’s leading independent platform for digital advertising, with nearly 4,000 employees across more than 30 offices. Our technology helps advertisers reach the right audiences across the open internet — from streaming TV and podcasts to mobile apps, news, and more.
Advertising powers the content people love. By making it more transparent, effective, and responsible, we help support trusted journalism, quality entertainment, and creators worldwide. The world’s brands and agencies rely on us to reach their customers and grow their businesses responsibly.
The scale of our platform brings unique technical challenges — from processing massive datasets in real time to building systems that operate reliably on a global scale. When you work here, your impact is worldwide. We welcome diverse perspectives, encourage curiosity, and build teams that learn from one another. If you’re driven to solve meaningful challenges, we’d love to meet you.
The Trade Desk is transforming the way global brands and their agencies advertise to audiences around the world. At its best, the internet is an open marketplace of ideas, content, and commerce fueled by relevant advertising. That’s why we built an independent media buying platform for the open internet—one that delivers greater transparency, choice, and results for advertisers.

- Define certification requirements and validation processes to ensure devices meet Ventura TVOS quality, performance, privacy, and compliance standards
- Drive cross‑functional execution from concept through launch, balancing technical feasibility, compliance needs, and ecosystem requirements
