About the job
Groupon is a dynamic marketplace that connects customers with exciting experiences and services, empowering local businesses to thrive. Having partnered with over a million merchants worldwide, we facilitate connections for 16 million customers seeking deals across diverse categories. In a world dominated by e-commerce giants, we pride ourselves on being a platform genuinely committed to the success of local businesses through performance-driven strategies.
At Groupon, we are on an ambitious journey to transform our operations with a relentless focus on achieving results. Despite our global presence with thousands of employees, we uphold a culture that fosters innovation, encourages risk-taking, and celebrates success. Here, your impact can be immediate, as we operate on a scale that allows for rapid transformation. We embody a "best of both worlds" philosophy—large enough to offer robust resources, yet small enough for individuals to wield significant autonomy and make a meaningful impact.
About the Role
Join our CoreApps Platform team, the backbone of Groupon's engineering efforts responsible for the global commerce engine. Our platform manages every customer interaction and transaction on a worldwide scale. In this high-impact, senior-level Individual Contributor (IC) role, you will focus on ensuring KTLO stability at massive scale while advancing a significant platform modernization initiative through an AI-first approach.
You will take ownership of mission-critical services that handle over 100,000 Requests Per Minute (RPM) and drive the transition from legacy Java/Ruby systems to a modern TypeScript/Node.js microservices architecture, utilizing cutting-edge AI coding tools to achieve unmatched speed and quality.
