About the job
At Groupon, we empower customers to discover exciting experiences and services while supporting local businesses to thrive. With over a million merchant partners globally, we connect more than 16 million customers with great deals across diverse categories. In an e-commerce landscape dominated by giants, we proudly differentiate ourselves by focusing on performance-driven success for local businesses.
We are undergoing a transformative journey, fueled by a relentless pursuit of results. Despite our expansive global presence, we maintain a culture that fosters innovation, encourages risk-taking, and celebrates achievements. This is an environment where your impact can be significant, as we balance the resources of a large company with the agility of a smaller team—where individual contributions matter immensely.
This role is not for someone looking to maintain the status quo; it is for a builder ready to make a difference.
As an AI-First company, Groupon is on a mission to revolutionize our technology architecture. We are seeking a hands-on Director of Engineering to spearhead a critical initiative: reimagining our entire B2B ecosystem.
You will take the lead in migrating our legacy systems to a modern, AI-integrated platform on GCP, providing a unique opportunity to dismantle outdated structures, design innovative solutions, and make a lasting impact on a global platform that supports thousands of local businesses.
Responsibilities:
- Architect and Deliver the Future: Guide a 2-year transformation of our B2B technology, migrating core Deal Management and Merchant Center platforms to our modern "Stack 2.0" (GCP/TypeScript) without downtime for our global sales teams.
- Build with an AI-First Mindset: Go beyond mere buzzwords. You will integrate AI and LLMs as central to our strategy, transforming Salesforce into a high-velocity sales engine and launching our AI-powered LeadGen 2.0 system.
- Mentor and Scale a World-Class Team: Lead a distributed team of over 30 engineers, cultivating a culture of technical excellence, agility, and practicality. You will effectively delegate to ensure your top talent stays focused on impactful work.
