teams that learn from one another. If you’re driven to solve meaningful challenges, we’d love to meet you. The Trade Desk approach to infrastructure is in the midst of an exciting transformation toward SOA and we need your help! Up until now we've grown to massive scale via a centralized Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team. As embracers of change, we've decided that the best route forward is through smaller, focused teams. Now that we've decentralized, we're working on a self-service, Infrastructure as a Service, transformation. We have opportunities working with Kubernetes, Kafka, multiple cloud providers, and an ever-expanding physical server footprint. Transformations are challenging but they provide multiple opportunities for a positive impact on a growing company. If this sounds like an exciting pursuit, we'd love to talk to you!
