Groupon is a marketplace where customers discover new experiences and services everyday and local businesses thrive. To date we have worked with over a million merchant partners worldwide, connecting over 16 million customers with deals across various categories. In a world often dominated by e-commerce giants, we stand out as one of the few platforms uniquely committed to helping local businesses succeed on a performance basis.

Groupon is on a radical journey to transform our business with relentless pursuit of results. Even with thousands of employees spread across multiple continents, we still maintain a culture that inspires innovation, rewards risk-taking and celebrates success. The impact here can be immediate due to our scale and the speed of our transformation. We're a "best of both worlds" kind of company. We're big enough to have the resources and scale, but small enough that a single person has a surprising amount of autonomy and can make a meaningful impact.

About the Role

We’re hiring a Senior Event Data Analyst to improve the quality, consistency, and reliability of Groupon’s clickstream and event data. This data powers analytics, experimentation, attribution, and product decisions. You’ll audit existing event flows, find and fix issues, update our canonical schemas, and refresh data quality rules so downstream teams can trust what they see.

This role is hands-on, investigative, and highly cross-functional. You’ll work closely with engineering, product analytics, and platform teams to trace issues across the entire event lifecycle and resolve them quickly. An AI-first mindset is expected to accelerate debugging and rule validation.

📍Location: Remote from Central and South America

Key Responsibilities

1. Event Quality Audits Semantic Validation

  • Investigate known and unknown tracking issues and drive resolution.

  • Validate correctness, completeness, and consistency of raw vs. canonicalized events.

  • Check attribute meaning, parity across platforms, and alignment with product/UI behavior.

  • Identify mismatches such as naming drift or inconsistent attribute values.

2. Canonical Schema Mapping Governance

  • Maintain and refine canonical schemas and mapping rules for source → canonical events.

  • Ensure multi-source events follow consistent semantics.

  • Work with engineering teams to correct upstream defects or breaking changes.

3. Data Quality Rules Alerting Improvements

  • Review and simplify existing data quality rules.

  • Build clear, actionable rules with appropriate severity levels.

  • Reduce alert fatigue while improving real-issue detection.

  • Update rules as product and upstream changes occur.

4. End-to-End Debugging Across the Event Lifecycle

  • Trace issues from front-end instrumentation → upstream services → canonicalization → pipelines → consumers.

  • Pinpoint root causes across systems and teams.

  • Produce clear RCA documentation and collaborate on fixes.

5. Collaboration Stakeholder Support

  • Lead or support issue triage meetings with engineering and analytics.

  • Validate funnel definitions and product measurement logic.

  • Provide guidance during office hours and help close feedback loops.

  • Advocate for better measurement hygiene and instrumentation quality.

6. AI-First, Agentic Workflows

  • Use LLM-based tools to accelerate investigations, rule reviews, and schema audits.

  • Provide structured feedback to improve internal agent workflows.

Key Requirements

  • 5+ years working with SQL, Python, event debugging, and analytical problem-solving.

  • 5+ years with e-commerce clickstream data, behavioral tracking, and purchase funnels.

  • Experience with event semantics, canonical schemas, and mapping layers.

  • Strong understanding of event-based systems, experimentation, and streaming pipelines.

  • Ability to investigate issues across multiple systems and teams.

  • Strong ownership, structured thinking, and ability to operate with minimal direction.

  • AI-first mindset and hands-on use of LLM tools for debugging/analysis.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with GA, Adobe Analytics, PostHog, or similar platforms.

  • Experience designing quality rules or anomaly detection frameworks.

  • Familiarity with GDPR or enterprise data governance standards.

  • Experience building agentic workflows or automations.

What Success Looks Like

  • Tracking issues are identified earlier, resolved faster, and documented clearly.

  • Canonical schemas remain stable and predictable for downstream users.

  • Data quality rules become simpler, more accurate, and less noisy.

  • Stakeholders trust event data for experimentation, dashboards, and product decisions.

  • AI tools meaningfully shorten investigation and debugging turnaround times.

We Are Interested In

  • People who enjoy deep debugging and solving ambiguous data issues.

  • Analysts who communicate clearly across technical and non-technical teams.

  • Individuals who are proactive, structured, and bias toward action.

  • People who use AI tools to speed up analysis and investigation.

Groupon's journey began with a simple yet powerful idea that emerged from founder Andrew Mason's frustration in 2006 while trying to cancel a mobile phone contract. He envisioned a way to harness the collective bargaining power of many individuals. This led to the launch of The Point in 2007, a web platform designed to rally people around a common cause or goal, leveraging social media to achieve a 'tipping point' for action. While The Point saw modest traction, a particular group of users in Chicago sparked a pivotal shift: they wanted to band together to save money by purchasing the same product in bulk to secure a group discount. Recognizing this potent demand, Eric Lefkofsky, an early supporter who provided $1 million in seed money, encouraged a pivot to focus entirely on group buying.

Thus, Groupon – a portmanteau of 'group' and 'coupon' – was officially launched in November 2008. Its inaugural deal was a charmingly straightforward offer: two pizzas for the price of one at Motel Bar, a restaurant conveniently located on the first floor of their Chicago office building. This decision to concentrate on group discounts proved to be incredibly astute. The concept resonated deeply with consumers and local businesses alike. In a remarkably short span, Groupon experienced explosive growth. What started as a small team of a few dozen blossomed to over 350 employees within just a year and a half. By October 2010, Groupon's reach had expanded dramatically, serving 150 cities in North America and 100 cities across Europe, Asia, and South America, boasting an impressive 35 million registered users. The company's innovative model of connecting subscribers with local merchants by offering enticing deals on activities, travel, goods, and services had firmly taken root, transforming the landscape of local commerce and establishing Groupon as a significant player in the burgeoning e-commerce world. This rapid ascent culminated in a major milestone when Groupon went public in November 2011, marking one of the largest IPOs by an Internet company since Google's debut in 2004.

Over the years, Groupon has continued to evolve, navigating the dynamic digital marketplace. While initially focused on daily deals with a 'tipping point' mechanism, the platform has broadened its offerings to include a wider array of coupons, cashback opportunities, and direct-to-consumer goods and travel packages. The company has weathered economic shifts and increasing competition by adapting its strategies, including international expansion and acquisitions. Despite facing challenges and undergoing leadership changes, including the appointment of Dušan Šenkypl as CEO in March 2023, Groupon remains committed to its core mission: to be a trusted local marketplace where consumers can discover new experiences and services that enrich their lives, and where local businesses can thrive by reaching new customers. Headquartered in Chicago, Groupon continues to connect millions of users with deals in numerous countries, striving to pump billions into local economies and help consumers save significantly.
