O pozici
Groupon connects 42 million customers with local experiences - restaurants, events, wellness and travel - and the million-plus merchants who deliver them. Our mission is to get people offline and into the real world at prices that make it possible. We're an AI-native company in the middle of a platform transformation, moving from a deals marketplace to an experience discovery platform that works for customers and merchants at the same time.
Co budeš dělat
- Owning the Managed Channel delivery roadmap end-to-end: the Bloomreach CDP global rollout, the async BR/RAPI communication bridge, and the BR/MTA direct integration replacing the CDP-proxy layer
- Driving the long-term event gateway architecture: near-real-time ingestion of user and system events at scale, routed to third parties in a way that reduces platform cost and improves targeting precision
- Running weekly delivery reviews, making prioritization calls when ad-hoc business requests compete with platform work, and presenting trade-offs to Nikash and stakeholders in Prague and London with a clear recommendation — not a list of options
- Conducting system design and code reviews with the Bangalore team, raising the engineering bar on microservices, Kafka-based messaging patterns, Kubernetes, and cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP)
- Setting and enforcing engineering practices: pull request discipline, incident response, observability standards, and AI tooling adoption (Cursor, CodeRabbit, or equivalent) that compounds team velocity over time
- Managing 8 direct reports through regular 1:1s, performance feedback, and hands-on mentorship grounded in their actual output, not reported status
- Aligning cross-team dependencies with EMs in Feeds and Coupons/Voucher Cloud, and with Marketing and Product stakeholders in Prague and London
Koho hledáme
- You can read a Kafka-based distributed system architecture, identify the failure modes, and lead a technical design discussion with senior engineers — you won't write production code daily, but you need enough depth to know when a decision is wrong before it ships
- You've managed a remote engineering team across a major time zone gap before, and you know how to build trust, run effective asynchronous communication, and keep delivery momentum
Benefity
- We encourage candidates to leverage AI tools during the hiring process where it adds value, and we’re always keen to hear how technology improves the way you work. If you’re passionate about AI or curious to explore how it can elevate your role you’ll be right at home here.
