The Trade Desk | Full Time, Onsite | San Jose CA, San Francisco CA, Aliso Viejo CA, Ventura CA, Boulder CO, New York NY, London UK, Sydney AUS, Bellevue WA

Hiring: All levels of software engineers, as well as front-end focused developers who are comfortable with data-access design, development and optimization.
You might be a great fit for The Trade Desk dev team if:

* You are a full-stack engineer who wants to work everywhere, not just a small subset of components. Experience / interest in working in a variety of layers and technologies within a SOA is a must for our team. This includes: client-side AngularJS / JQuery, MVC-based web architecture, external RESTful APIs, distributed (and in our case, highly scaled) request handling services, no-SQL and relational SQL databases, many-layered data pipeline (e.g. data bus architecture, Hadoop / MPP data warehouse, etc.) that moves hundreds of thousands of items per second, and data visualization (e.g. Tableau). Experience in all these layers is not strictly required, but we do like to see experience working in more than one, as well as eagerness to work on projects that might slice through them all.

* You have product-driven software development experience using a modern, object-oriented language. Memory-managed languages are best -- .e.g. C#, Java, Python, Ruby, etc. We do most of our work in C#/.Net, but specific experience here is not required.

Cool stuff about TTD:

* Our platform processes 5million+ queries per second

* Work with the best engineering team in AdTech

* The combination of huge data sets, high throughput, low latency and amazing scale means that we're constantly solving some of the biggest challenges in computer science.

* We've grown faster than any other adtech company in the industry, and have been recently recognized as one of the fastest growing companies in America by Inc. Magazine and Deloitte.

* Amazing Company Culture (We're very proud of our top rating on Glassdoor)

* Top-tier benefits

If you want to learn more, email Casey casey.rabiea@thetradedesk.com or apply directly on our website: https://www.thetradedesk.com/join-us/open-positions

*Note: We are also hiring a SQL Server DBA, Sr. UI/UX Designer, an East & West Coast Solutions Architect, and a BI Data Warehouse Developer!
So, when will Tesla be manufacturing 2,500,000 cars per year?

Edit: No, really. Ford sold over a million vans, pickups and heavy trucks last year, a market that Tesla has no apparent interest in entering.[1] The Toyota Camry alone sold 428,000 in 2014, the Honda Accord 328,000, the Corolla 340,000, the Ford Fusion 306,000, the Nissan Altima 336,000, and the Honda Civic 326,000.[2] The Tesla Model 3 will presumably be in that latter market (although those are roughly $10,000 cheaper), and if Musk is right about scaling his factory to 500,000/year, it will take a big chunk of it (but still, it's $10,000 more). (If it's in the BMW 3-series/Merc. C-class/Lexus range, 500,000/year would eat all of that market.)

That link has no real info on their growth potential, it's just one analyst saying that it has some with no follow up.

Then how did all these companies end up in this position in the past?
my 17 Volt reports my driving even without my solicitation. Imagine my surprise the first time I looked at what it had and it showed exactly where I had accelerated too hard or braked too hard; all times showing of electric drive and such to friends.

Needless to say I did not sign up for their related insurance program which sends your driving information to interested insurance companies.

my big concern isn't these affiliates, its the government being able to subpoena such data since its not in my possession and there for not protected by any rights I have.
Then I wonder what team the CSO heads up
> "before you ask me to demonstrate a depth-first search, you had better explain to me why I'm going to need to be doing that instead of just writing an SQL query and tweaking an index"

How I am going to ask you to tweak an index, if you don't know how to browse a tree? Although I would have asked you about B+ and B* trees, the ones used to index a database. There are differences in those trees and you need to know them in order to decide which one is a better option to improve the performance of the queries. Obviously this improvement means nothing for a small startup, but image the impact it has in a company as Google.

I think the point is that a lot of interviewers make those questions because big companies do them. But there is a reason why they do them. Obviously I would prefer the candidate that knows the answer over another one that also does the job but doesn't know the answer.

> I don't see why quick sort with a random pivot takes a non deterministic amount of time.

Because it might sort faster or slower depending on how the pivot gets picked. But you'd get the sorted list in the end. A Monte Carlo solution might run for 5 seconds but you might get a partially sorted list only.
It's complicated!

The crazy feature bloat is a real negative for Word, and yet also a huge strength.

It's interesting look at documents produced and consumed by different industries to get a real grasp on the variety of use cases

Oh, and a legal document written in Word 2.0 an æon ago needs to have every word on the same line, and paginate identically on every subsequent version
Copying Office and making it a webapp with less features is not killing Office. Not even close.

Microsoft Office is legacy software. Its killer won't have anything to do with, it will be totally different. For example, Slack.

I mean, killing PowerPoint is not making a webapp to create presentations, but creating something that makes creating presentations unnecessary.

Ideas: SaaS, ML, cloud dashboards and analytics, communication.

Sorry, I don't agree that calling attention to something that seems to be obvious and common sense can or should be characterized as "policing people's emotions".

I'd say it's a tad intellectually dishonest to frame my argument that way in the first place.
>people from other countries might enter it backwards without thinking about it

people from other countries might enter it correctly without thinking about it
Prison did in fact convince Hitler that armed rebellion was not an effective means to seizing power in post-WWI Germany. He had been jailed for the "Beer Hall Putsch" in Munich, which had in turn been inspired by Mussolini's successful "March on Rome".

After his release he decided to focus instead on gaining power through the political system, an effort that was ultimately successful.

So prison "tamed" him in that sense, but of course it did nothing to reduce his political ambitions. If anything the opposite appears to be true - he wrote "Mein Kampf" in prison, which laid out his vision for what the German state should look like, including such details as gaining "lebensraum" - more living space for the Germans in the East.
What is this based on? Ford has had record profits over the past few years and has continually improved their vehicles and manufacturing processes, including remaking two assembly plants to make aluminum body F 150s. They also invested a billion dollars in Arvo AI and are making aggressive moves into self driving technology.
Direct advice: for Tensorflow, use Python because it will mean swimming with the current in the middle of the channel.
>not to mention the horrendous user experience that is Ford Sync.

Well that's what you get for buying a car that has Microsoft software running in the infotainment system. The MS-designed Sync system had all kinds of terrible reviews at the time, and it was so bad that it brought Ford way, way down in the "initial quality" surveys, from #1 down to near the bottom IIRC. Do you not do any research before spending a giant amount of money on a car? I spent several months researching my last purchase, a Mazda (I didn't actually spend several months continuously researching it, but I was doing research and test-drives for several months before committing).

To be fair to Ford, though, my understanding is that the latest generation dumped Microsoft and switched to QNX, and should be much improved. While they were using MS, there was no way in hell I'd buy one of their cars. After they switched, I did look into a Focus, but was deterred by all the reports of problems with their DSG transmission.

I remember an article here about how hard it is to gather metrics on MSRA-related deaths precisely because they are often not mentioned in the cause-of-death reports. I think this was it:

Thanks a lot! I didn't know about CISSP. I do expect dev crowd to be more skeptical about it, but from what I've seen Enterprises play it safe in consulting world and tend to go after these certs.

On the other side too, many of the best chat bots are being built as essentially Expert Systems, rather than Deep Learning, and there's a lot of old research and ideas to dust off from that field. Right now a lot of the chat bot Expert Systems are ad hoc, from what I gather, and it will be interesting if there's a resurgence in exploring and modernizing a lot of the old ideas and classic systems.

As with the brief flurry of the Semantic Web era, I think the lesson with chat bot VI/AI will again be as much in striking the balance between things like Deep Learning and things like Expert Systems, assuming Deep Learning will never be perfect and Expert Systems will never be easy/cheap (building a good one still requires a domain expert in that field to train it in whatever rules engine you are using to express the domain).

I think that line of thought assumes that they pivot from electric cars to batteries, and from batteries to energy in general. Imagine huge, modular atmospheric/solar/geothermal/battery/molten salt combination generator/energy storage plants dotting the globe.

But I mean, couldn't GE do that too? Or Samsung/Murata/Vishay/Maxwell/Panasonic/etc.? It kind of seems like the stocks are trading largely on the strength of Musk's vision. I am kind of okay with letting mad scientists-cum-Bond villains like Musk and Bezos run amok with billions of dollars, though. I mean why not, it's a bit of a wildcard and it makes about as much sense as anything else that's happening right now.
What's an example situation where this is useful? (I don't doubt there is one-- just not sure what it is!)

edit: OK, so you can maintain a cash balance on Amazon... is this the early stages of a plan to allow p2p payments a la Venmo?
Don't thank me. I think the takeaway is go do something amazing because it's possible to do so!
If you set extra_float_digits=3 then the output will always be large enough to contain the full precision. pg_dump et al. do so automatically.
