About the role
The Trade Desk is seeking a Staff Engineer for Content Discovery and Search to own design, implementation, and optimization of discovery and search systems within Ventura TV OS cloud services. You will influence product direction and collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver personalized, high-quality content experiences.
You will work with distributed data processing, ML inference, and production-grade search pipelines, contributing to scalable indexing, ranking, and relevance.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
