Czechia only

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 are building a new central system for deal management and refactoring existing services into a modern, scalable TypeScript-based framework - join our team in Prague. This role is critical to executing our migration from legacy systems and enabling long-term maintainability and performance improvements across Groupon’s deal platform.

  • Ensure the platform is optimized for speed, scalability, and maintainability.
  • Work closely with Product Managers, UX/UI Designers, and other developers to translate business needs into technical solutions.
  • Perform testing, debugging, and deployment of frontend and full-stack features.
  • Contribute to the architecture and technical decisions of the project.
  • Participate in code reviews to ensure high-quality code standards are met.

Key Requirements:

  • 5+ years of experience as a Frontend/Fullstack Developer with a focus on TypeScript.
  • Proficiency in React, Next.js, or similar modern frontend frameworks.
  • Experience with Node.js for full-stack development.
  • Strong understanding of RESTful APIs and microservices architecture.
  • Knowledge of frontend optimization techniques for improving performance.
  • Ability to write clean, well-documented, and maintainable code.
  • Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git).
  • Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.

Nice-to-Have Skills:

  • Experience working on B2B or enterprise-level applications.
  • Familiarity with cloud services like AWS or GCP
  • Familiarity with serverless architectures and containerization (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes, CloudRun).
  • Knowledge of GraphQL schema design and optimization.
  • Understanding of CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices.

Who You Are:

  • A team player who enjoys collaborating across functions to solve complex problems.
  • Detail-oriented with a focus on delivering high-quality, scalable products.
  • Self-motivated and eager to learn new technologies and best practices.
  • Capable of working in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and adapting quickly to change.

What We Offer:

  • A competitive salary with performance bonuses.
  • The opportunity to work on a transformative B2B platform that will impact multiple industries.

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.
