Grow As an Engineer by Building Things That Matter.

Groupon’s mission is to become the daily habit in local commerce and fulfill our purpose of building strong communities through thriving small businesses by connecting people to a vibrant, global marketplace for local services, experiences and goods. In the process, we’re positively impacting the lives of millions of customers and merchants globally. Even with thousands of employees spread across multiple continents, we still maintain a culture that inspires innovation, rewards risk-taking and celebrates success. If you want to take more ownership of your career, then you're ready to be part of Groupon.

Are you a passionate, energetic and technology enthusiast eager to work at a rapid pace with the flexibility to work across our suite of technologies? Are you are a problem solver; someone who enjoys debugging code, resolving issues, and creating solutions for common problems? Do you get a little obsessed with the details?

We are looking for great software engineers excited by helping us build out Groupon���s next generation container based platform. We are using great technologies including Kubernetes, Apache Mesos, Ansible and Docker to build the next generation orchestration platform for our engineers.

We're a "best of both worlds" kind of company. We're big enough to have resources and scale, but small enough that a single person has a surprising amount of autonomy and can make a meaningful impact. We're curious, fun, a little intense, and kind of obsessed with helping local businesses thrive. Does that sound like a compelling place to work?

We are providing Groupon’s microservice engineering teams a solid underpinning of tools and practices in the areas of continuous delivery and a dynamically allocated container based platform to deploy services to. A measure of success is that engineering teams can focus more on delivering features than thinking about how to get those features into production or grappling with long lead times for statically allocated VMs. Another measure of success in this role is that we see a reduction in time spent by Ops teams assisting in managing deploys, thereby allowing them to focus on higher-level tasks around site optimization. Improvements delivered to system management tooling now improve things for almost every team.

You’ll spend time on the following:

• Design and develop Groupon’s dev tools, to support continuous delivery in a high scale microservices environment.

• Write great quality code using SOLID principles and fully covered by unit and integration tests. The languages we like to use are Python, GoLang, Scala or Java.

• Deploy and manage new technologies from the Kubernetes / CNCF ecosystem ( CNI, Envoy, Fluentd etc).

• Develop highly scalable tools used to package applications into Docker Containers.

• Help improve our metrics and logs gathering capabilities.

• Work with dev teams to build developer-friendly CLI tools and APIs for driving adoption.

• Maintain the platform’s documentation and help improve already established processes.

We’re excited about you if you have:

• Good knowledge or strong interest in at least 2 of the following: Docker, Kubernetes, Mesos, PaaS, IaaS

• Good knowledge or strong interest in the following: Go-lang, Fluentd, GRPC, Notary etc.

• A keen interest in tool and platform development for development teams

• Good knowledge of tool chains such as Jenkins, Ansible, Maven, Chef, SALT, Puppet, ELK etc.

• Excellent programming skills using one of the following: Java, Golang, Scala, Python, Ruby...

• Deep understanding of Agile and Continuous Delivery concepts and tools

• Strong knowledge of all aspects of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)

• Knowledge of agile software development methodologies such as Agile and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA).

• BS in Computer Sciences or related fields or an equivalent experience in software development
