The challenge of the Financial Engineering team is to ensure that the merchants who partner with Groupon are paid for the products and services they provide to our customers. The FED team produces millions of merchant payments per month totaling billions of dollars globally. We need to do this both promptly and accurately because our merchants are counting on us to be correct every time. We work with all lines of business on the Groupon platform to build flexible systems that will support Groupon’s evolving business models.

As a Software Engineer you will:

• You will be a technical leader who will help drive the product and team culture which is focused on inclusivity, ownership, and collaboration.
• Work with Product and Engineering management to understand requirements and design flexible solutions for our global systems.
• Implement, test, deploy, and provide production support in weekly iterations.
• Mentor and help grow the other engineers on the team.

An ideal candidate would have:

• 8+ years of developing and supporting software
• Deep knowledge of a dynamic or functional programming language.
• Willingness to work in our tech stack. Our systems are mainly written in Ruby and Clojure with some Java and EmberJS.
• Experience working with relational databases.
• We specifically use MySQL and Postgres.
• Experience working with web technologies.
• A desire to do pair programming.
• A commitment to writing well-tested code.
• The ability to communicate with non-engineering teams throughout the enterprise as we frequently work with Product, Accounting, and Support teams.

What we value:

• Thoughtful software engineers - we are building a financial infrastructure which is designed to operate for decades so we need people who can think about more than just the problem in front of them.
• Improving our craft - we all want to be better and we want to help each other get there.
• Teamwork - modern software is not a solitary pursuit. We code with each other, we review each other’s changes, we test each other’s code, and we support each other’s releases.

Growth paths for Engineers in this role:

• You can stay on an Individual Contributor Track and become a key technical leader within Groupon taking on larger cross domain problems
• You can use this role to transition into Engineering Management managing teams that solve Groupon's many challenges
