You became an engineer because you believed in technology’s ability to make a difference in the world. So why would you spend your days building things that don’t matter? At Groupon, we spend our days developing tools, platforms and experiences that help small businesses thrive in their local communities. We might look like an ordinary ecommerce app, but under the surface we’re using cutting edge technology to build products that regularly positively impact the lives of 48MM people and merchants.

Of course, local merchants aren’t the only ones who will benefit from your work—you will too. Whether it's working on a top 30 mobile app, improving machine learned personalization models, launching container-based platform-as-a-serviceinfrastructure, or optimizing the site through performance testing, you’ll be building your portfolio of achievements and becoming the software developer you want to be.

If you have ambition and drive and want to own your own road map in a company that knows how to scale, we want to talk to you.

We're looking for great technology developers to work on the Groupon platform to improve performance and make our customers’ and small business’ lives easier and happier. We work in small, self-managing, collaborative and agile teams to implement stuff quickly.

Groupon is hiring a senior software engineer to develop its Mesos, Java and Scala based platform as a service and tools supporting the continuous delivery. This is a great opportunity to work on great engineering initiatives, influence our internal engineering direction and work with leading edge technologies such as Mesos, Marathon and a fully Microservice based architecture.

​Qualifications:

• Knowledge of any one of the following: Docker, Kubernetes, Mesos, PaaS, IaaS

• Great programming skills using one of the following: Java, Scala, Python, Ruby or similar

• A minimum of 5 years experience in software development, preferably developer-facing tools

• Deep understanding of Agile and Continuous Delivery concepts and tools

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

• Experience with current DevOps toolchains for infrastructure deployment, software build/test/deploy, and systems/application monitoring/logging such as Jenkins, Ansible, Maven, Chef, SALT, Puppet, ELK, AppDynamics etc.

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

Responsibilities

• Develop and roll out, Groupon’s next generation tools and processes, to support continuous delivery in a high scale microservices environment
• Write highly scalable tools to be used by the engineering teams by following coding best practices
• Develop tools used to package software into Docker containers
• Develop tools used to deploy the containers on different the PaaS
• Build and operate internal Mesos based PaaS
• Build easy to use developer tools for interacting with the platform .
• The challenge is to provide our microservice engineering teams a solid underpinning of tools and practices in the areas of continuous delivery and provide them 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

Community matters to us on an internal, local and global scale—it’s fundamental to our company’s growth and to the well-being of the world at large.
