Software Development Engineer

Job Description

Software Development Engineer (Booking)

Engineers making an impact on our company globally!

Groupon’s mission is to become the daily habit in local commerce and fulfil 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.

The Booking team owns a stack of applications that help our merchants to manage their booking communications with customers. You will help enable us to deliver a scalable, secure, performant, and configurable unified platform to bring our merchants and customers together to new and existing markets. This is an opportunity to make significant contributions to the time to market, scalability, performance, and maintainability of leading-edge booking platform services. You will be working with and learning from skilled senior developers using modern tools and technologies.

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’re excited about you if you have/are:

• 5+ years of proficient experience working on software products
• Experience with Java and some previous experience with PHP would be great.
• Experience of development and consumption of scalable microservices, REST APIs and REST API architecture
• Experience with scripting languages like Bash Shell, etc.
• Experience with MySQL, PostgreSQL, Cassandra
• Experience with monitoring technologies like Nagios, Wavefront
• Comfortable with version control: GIT , Github, Gitlab
• Familiarity with Continuous Delivery, Continuous Integration, Unit Testing
• Experience working in an Agile /Scrum development process
• Comfortable with Linux
• BS/MS degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related subject

Nice to have but not essential –

• Experience with infrastructure automation technologies like Docker, Kubernetes, Vagrant
• Experience with build automation technologies like Maven, Chef, Puppet, Ansible
• Experience in compilers or debuggers
• Capable of delivering on multiple competing priorities with little supervision
• Experience with Cloud Services (AWS)
