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
- Migrating core deal management services from Java to TypeScript/Node.js, reducing operational complexity and giving the team a codebase it can move quickly in
- Designing and building the APIs that commercial operations and merchant-facing products depend on, with written trade-offs and clear ownership at every layer
- Owning SLOs and observability for your systems: writing the dashboards, setting the thresholds, and being the person who owns the fix when something degrades
- Shipping features end-to-end: design, implementation, rollout, and post-production monitoring, without handoffs at each stage
- Using Cursor and Claude as working infrastructure — not side experiments: concrete decisions about which tasks you delegate to AI tooling and how that changes your output
- Writing RFCs and design docs for architectural decisions, so the team has a written record of trade-offs before committing to an approach
- Setting the quality bar for your area through code reviews, testing strategy, and documentation that means someone else can own this system in two years
Koho hledáme
- Ship production-quality TypeScript and Node.js at scale: code that survives high traffic, passes review, and doesn't require its author to be the only person who can debug it
- Read and refactor Java safely enough to migrate legacy services without introducing regressions — you don't need to be a specialist, but you need to be honest about what you're changing
- Trace a latency regression across distributed service boundaries, write the root cause analysis, and implement the change that prevents recurrence
- Write an RFC or design doc that a non-author engineer can read, challenge, and act on without needing you to explain it first
- Use AI coding tools as a genuine productivity multiplier: you've made specific choices about what you delegate to Cursor and Claude, and you can show the difference in your output
