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 atan 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. We are looking to hire a NoSQL Database Engineer to join our engineering team to continue building our data-driven platform and support database related activities. Do you enjoy tuning, performance testing, troubleshooting, writing automation, and influencing use cases? Does operating at scale, tuning, and testing next-gen hardware sound fun to you? With integrations into every major advertising exchange, TTD handles over 4 trillion requests every month and growing - that's more page views and queries than Facebook, Google Search, and Google's entire network of websites combined - all serviced in single-digit millisecond response times. The Trade Desk leverages Aerospike to support this, translating to over 75 million queries per second with a p99 latency of under 1 millisecond on the back end! Additionally, our adoption of MongoDB and Kafka is enabling developers to move quicker, making them our fastest-growing technologies. Are you interested in working with fast data at scale? Do you want to push the boundaries of scale and responsiveness? WHAT YOU WILL DO:
- Operations for Aerospike, Kafka, and Mongo. You will be a point of contact to review new use cases, answer questions, and respond to production issues while participating in an oncall rotation.
