Full job description

The Trade Desk seeks a Senior Systems Engineer for Commercial Intelligence and Analytics to design, develop, and maintain scalable analytical systems supporting Sales and Client Services. The role involves building production-grade data pipelines, insight frameworks, and automated workflows using Python, SQL, Snowflake, Tableau, and other tools. Responsibilities include owning revenue and client health systems, integrating AI/LLM capabilities, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and ensuring system reliability and impact. Required qualifications include 5+ years in analytics or software engineering, strong SQL and Python skills, experience with version control and CI/CD, and ability to translate business needs into technical solutions. Benefits include comprehensive healthcare, retirement plans, disability coverage, paid time off, parental leave, stock purchase plans, and variable incentives. Location: Los Angeles, CA. Salary range: $103,200–$189,200 USD.

What you'll do

  • Own and maintain production systems that surface revenue performance, portfolio health, renewal dynamics, client opportunity, and service risk
  • Design, build, and operate proactive insight pipelines translating recurring business needs into system architecture, data models, signal logic, and production-ready outputs
  • Work with Business Technology and Revenue Operations to integrate intelligence outputs into dashboards, alerting systems, and operational workflows
  • Build and deploy tools, signals, and automated deliverables to help teams prioritize effort, identify risk and opportunity, and act with greater precision
  • Build trusted, production-grade data assets and pipelines using SQL, Python, validated metrics, and well-documented logic
  • Integrate AI and LLM capabilities into systems and workflows to accelerate exploration, automate documentation, detect anomalies, and improve pipeline quality
  • Translate ambiguous commercial problems into concrete technical plans, stakeholder-aligned requirements, and measurable deliverables
  • Identify and prioritize scalable system investments that drive broad commercial impact
  • Embed intelligence outputs into go-to-market systems and instrument delivery to assess signal effectiveness
  • Raise the team’s engineering bar through rigorous documentation, automated testing, metric governance, and repeatable, version-controlled workflows

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in analytics engineering, data engineering, software engineering, or a similarly systems-oriented role with strong quantitative foundations
  • Strong SQL skills and experience working with large, complex datasets in modern data environments
  • Proficiency in Python for building production systems, automation, and data pipeline development
  • Strong foundation in software development practices including version control (Git), code review, testing, and CI/CD pipelines
  • Experience translating business requirements into technical designs, system architecture, and production-ready deliverables
  • Experience building durable, automated systems rather than relying on ad hoc or manual processes
  • Demonstrated track record of identifying opportunities, proposing solutions, and independently driving systems, automation or technical initiatives from concept through adoption
  • Experience operating in technical environments while collaborating with a broad set of internal stakeholders, including client-facing teams
  • Familiarity with AI- or LLM-assisted tools and strong judgment in applying them responsibly and validating outputs to ensure accuracy, rigor, and reliability
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Strong attention to data quality, metric consistency, and engineering rigor
