Job Description: IT Infrastructure Engineer Intern
The Trade Desk is a global technology company with a mission to make the Internet better for everyone – consumers, content owners, and marketers – through principled, intelligent advertising.
Our platform operates at an unprecedented scale. Handling over 11 million requests per second, we process more queries than searches on Google, tweets on Twitter, and snaps on Snapchat combined. It doesn't get much bigger or faster than this. And after 10+ years of being among the fastest growing companies in the world, we are still just getting started...
We have also built something even stronger and more valuable: an award-winning culture based on trust, empathy, collaboration, and ownership.
Our teams work across lines that often divide at other companies, because we are more than just builders or innovators or visionaries or problem solvers... We are a team who through shared challenges, setbacks, and successes, has become more than the sum of our parts.
Employees join The Trade Desk to discover opportunity, contribute to our customers’ success, and be part of building the future of marketing. You’ll work with creative, compassionate, and collaborative colleagues that share a passion for making the internet better for all – a combination that simply can't be beat!
