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.

​​As a member of the team, you'll be not only working with product and business to design and implement new features but also contributing to all aspects of an agile software development life cycle including design, architecture, coding, documentation, testing and operation.

  • Improve service stability by identifying critical service specific metrics, setting meaningful alerting thresholds, and automating alerting responses

  • Create and maintain documentation for your projects

  • Mentor junior staff

  • Drive the discussion and decisions of technical topics related to the team

We’re excited about you if you have:

  • BE/BTech or ME/MTech degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or a related field

  • 6+ years of industry experience

  • Excellent coding skills in one or more programming languages like C++, Java

  • Good to have knowledge of Ruby

  • Must have experience with REST API based development of micro services in distributed environment

  • You should have experience developing and supporting web applications and with supporting and troubleshooting internal and external requests / bug reports in transactional environment

  • Experience with build tools such as Ant, Ivy, Maven, Graddle

  • Strong debugging skills

  • Good communication and collaboration skills

We value engineers who are:

  • Customer-focused: We believe that doing what’s right for the customer is ultimately what will drive our business forward.

  • Obsessed with Quality: Your Production code Just Works & scales linearly

  • Team players. You believe that more can be achieved together. You listen to feedback and also provide supportive feedback to help others grow/improve.

  • Fast learners: We are willing to disrupt our existing business to trial new products and solutions. You love learning how to use new technologies and then rapidly apply them to new problems.

  • Pragmatic: We do things quickly to learn what our customers desire. You know when it’s appropriate to take shortcuts that don’t sacrifice quality or maintainability.

  • Owners: Engineers at Groupon know how to positively impact the business.

Beware of Recruitment Fraud: Groupon follows a merit-based recruitment process without charging job seekers any fees. We've noticed an increase in recruitment fraud, including fake job postings and fraudulent interviews and job offers aimed at stealing personal information or money. Be cautious of individuals falsely representing Groupon's Talent Acquisition team with fake job offers. If you encounter any suspicious job offers or interview calls demanding money, recognize these as scams. Groupon is not responsible for losses from such dealings.
