Staff Product Manager, Data Platform

The posting, as The Trade Desk wrote it

The Trade Desk is a global technology company and the world’s leading independent platform for digital advertising, with over 3,000 employees across more than 30 offices. Our technology helps advertisers reach the right audiences across the open internet — from streaming TV and podcasts to mobile apps, news, and more.

Advertising powers the content people love. By making it more transparent, effective, and responsible, we help support trusted journalism, quality entertainment, and creators worldwide. The world’s brands and agencies rely on us to reach their customers and grow their businesses responsibly.

The scale of our platform brings unique technical challenges — from processing massive datasets in real time to building systems that operate reliably on a global scale. When you work here, your impact is worldwide. We welcome diverse perspectives, encourage curiosity, and build teams that learn from one another. If you’re driven to solve meaningful challenges, we’d love to meet you.

Who We Are

The Trade Desk has also built something beyond our technology: a culture grounded in trust, ownership, and the belief that ambitious, principled people can change an industry. We value intellectual honesty, diverse perspectives, and teams that push each other to do better work. We celebrate big bets, learn from failures, and care deeply about getting things right — for our customers and for each other. If that resonates with you, we'd love to talk.

Who We’re Looking For

Data is foundational to The Trade Desk: how our products work, how our customers understand their investments, and how we build what comes next. We’re looking for a Staff Product Manager to shape the data platform that makes that possible. This is an opportunity to influence the foundations behind a global advertising business, building capabilities that help teams across the company move faster, make better decisions, and deliver more value to customers.

The scale makes this work especially compelling. Across channels and markets, our products depend on large volumes of data being collected, processed, and made available accurately, reliably, and efficiently. The decisions we make about those foundations shape what other teams can build, how quickly they can build it, and how well it performs. You’ll help ensure our data platform stays ahead of the business’s needs as our products, customers, and ambitions evolve. AI and agents are also expanding who uses data and what they can do with it. As software increasingly discovers, interprets, and acts on data, our platform must serve new kinds of users and make new workflows possible. You’ll help shape that evolution: building trusted, discoverable, and securely accessible data capabilities that enable teams to create AI-native products and agent-driven experiences.

We’re looking for someone who combines technical depth with the ability to make a complex vision clear and compelling. You’re curious about where the business is going,
