Job Description
Groupon is a marketplace where customers discover new experiences and services everyday and local businesses thrive. To date we have worked with over a million merchant partners worldwide, connecting over 16 million customers with deals across various categories. In a world often dominated by e-commerce giants, we stand out as one of the few platforms uniquely committed to helping local businesses succeed on a performance basis.
Groupon is on a radical journey to transform our business with relentless pursuit of results. Even with thousands of employees spread across multiple continents, we still maintain a culture that inspires innovation, rewards risk-taking and celebrates success. The impact here can be immediate due to our scale and the speed of our transformation. We're a "best of both worlds" kind of company. We're big enough to have the resources and scale, but small enough that a single person has a surprising amount of autonomy and can make a meaningful impact.
We are seeking a Senior Automation Software Developer with a strong background in software development, data engineering, and process automation. The ideal candidate will be responsible for developing and maintaining well-structured, reusable code with a focus on simplicity and efficiency. This role requires excellent communication and analytical skills, along with the ability to work independently and take ownership of projects.
The developer will create and enhance automation across Google Docs, Jira, Tempo, JSM, and N8N to streamline data management and reporting for IT and finance. Key projects include maintaining scripts for IT reporting, time tracking, development support, and cost analysis; building API-driven reports to monitor Jira content, project costs, and tracked hours; and developing custom scripts to support IT automation and workflows. The role also involves ensuring smooth integration between Jira, Google Spreadsheets, N8N, Asana, Google Workspace, and notifications.

-
Design, develop, and maintain scripts, services and tools using JavaScript and Python.

Develop and integrate Rest APIs to streamline processes and improve system efficiency.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand requirements and deliver solutions that meet business needs.
-
Communicate effectively with team members and stakeholders to ensure alignment and clarity on project goals and deliverables.
-
Take ownership of projects and be accountable for their success from inception to deployment.
Must Have:
