What We Do

You’ll join a business engineering team building internal AI solutions that support teams across The Trade Desk. We leverage large language models, retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG), agentic systems, and enterprise platforms like Microsoft Copilot and Anthropic Claude to improve productivity, streamline workflows, and reduce operational friction.

Our team also plays a key role in AI enablement across the company—supporting teams as they adopt Copilot, Claude and similar tools, designing and deploying custom AI agents, and guiding partners through their AI journey from idea to impact.

As a Sr AI Enterprise Engineer on this team, you’ll be an end-to-end owner—collaborating closely with stakeholders, identifying opportunities, and delivering tools that make a real impact. We’re a nimble, fast-paced, and highly collaborative group that thrives on transforming the way teams operate and driving greater value across The Trade Desk.

What you’ll do:

Some of the work that you will be doing to help us deliver on our mission is:

• Design and deploy intelligent agentic systems that integrate large language models (LLMs) with enterprise data, tools, and workflows using frameworks like LangChain, LlamaIndex, and Semantic Kernel.
• Contributring to Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) applications using tools like Azure AI Search, vector databases, and secure enterprise connectors to deliver contextual insights.
• Build and deploy agents using Microsoft Copilot, Copilot Studio, Anthropic Claude, and similar platforms to help teams operationalize solutions within enterprise guardrails.
• Build and iterate on conversational agents that solve real-world problems, meet stakeholder needs, and deliver measurable business value.
• Deliver high-impact features by collaborating across teams, leading through ambiguity, and aligning technical solutions with business goals.
• Drive quality and performance through automated testing, monitoring, and data-driven evaluation of success criteria, user adoption, and operational efficiency.
• Mentor teammates and contribute to a culture of innovation, technical excellence, and continuous learning.

Who you are:

• You have a Bachelor’s/Master’s level degree in computer science or relevant engineering-related field or equivalent experience.
• You have 8-10+ years of software engineering experience, including 1-2+ years working on AI-powered systems or products.
• You have knowledge of Python and comfortable with additional languages such as C#, SQL, or TypeScript/React.
• You’re excited about AI enablement, including helping teams adopt platforms like Microsoft Copilot, Anthropic Claude and Copilot Studio, building agents, and guiding others through their AI journey.
• You are skilled in data ingestion and transformation using APIs, ETL pipelines, and connectors, and familiar with vector databases and retrieval strategies.
• You communicate clearly across technical and non-technical audiences and thrive in a collaborative, cross-functional environment.
• You are a fast learner who adapts quickly to new technologies and solves complex problems with creativity and pragmatism.

A variety of technical opportunities is one of the best things about working at The Trade Desk as a software engineer, which is why we do not expect you to know every technology we use when you start. What we care about is that you can learn quickly and find solutions to complex problems using the optimum tools for the job. What you know is less important than how well you learn and innovate. We are not seeking engineers who know all the answers; we need engineers who can invent answers no one has thought of yet and find answers to the questions yet to be asked.
