Working Devs

Description

Grow as a developer by building things that help local businesses around the world thrive

Are you a passionate technology enthusiast, eager to work at a rapid pace with the flexibility to work across our suite of technologies? Are you a problem solver— someone who enjoys debugging code, resolving issues, and creating solutions for common problems? Do you get a little obsessed with the details?

In this role, you will take ownership of core Ruby on Rails services and be responsible for their ongoing maintenance, upgrades and optimization in the cloud. You will work as part of an Agile team to deliver new features and enhancements to our platform. Additionally, you will build, update and maintain internal tools to support our development efforts and streamline our business processes.

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.

Our development ecosystem:

• Languages: Ruby on Rails
• Node/Express JS
• MySQL/PostgreSQL
• Splunk
• REST/JSON APIs
• Deployment to AWS
• GitHub
• JIRA

You’ll spend time on the following:

• You will lead the design and implementation of systems within the enterprise

• You will focus on solutions that come from better architecture, not just better code

• You will drive initiatives across engineering teams with a focus on increasing site performance and stability

• You will work closely with other engineers within your group and across the product and engineering organization to identify problems and build effective technical solutions

• Mentor junior team members and encourage your peers to do the best possible work

We’re excited about you if you have:

• At least 5+ years experience in software development, experience building developer-facing tools will be a plus

• Excellent coding skills in one or more languages: Java, C#, Scala, C++, Python or Ruby

• Experience with container technologies like Kubernetes or Docker desired

• Development experience with service-oriented architectures/microservices

• Excellent troubleshooting and problem-solving skills

• Ability to work collaboratively through an agile development process that promotes constant team communication
