What we do

The Trade Desk helps marketers unlock the potential of the open internet, on every channel and

device, across the entire customer journey. Our Identity products power intelligent ad buying on

TTD. Our Data Scientists in the Identity team are end-to-end owners of TTD's identity products.

This end-to-end ownership gives the opportunity to participate in designing, researching,

building, and delivering data-focused and high-impact products for our stakeholders.

These products are based on large-scale data that are in the order of millions of queries per

second. Working with such large-scale data requires our data scientists to be at the cutting edge

of both the data processing frameworks as well as scalable algorithms.

Our data scientists also serve as an ambassador to our business partners to champion and evolve

our identity products as the identity landscape of the open internet changes. They understand the

business requirements and current design choices; they communicate effectively with business

partners on opportunities and challenges; and they are strategic partners in creating the next

generation of identity products.

Data Scientists contribute to more than our product - they build up our team. We are a team built

on a foundation of generosity and openness, and we expect our Data Scientists to help make

others better and raise the bar for those around them.
