Can data really help local businesses around the world thrive?

Are you ready to test your skills using massive amounts of information to make critical business decisions?

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

As a part of our Technology organization, our Data Science teams strive to be the voice of the customer in the decisions Groupon makes. We develop and use cutting-edge data technologies and data science algorithms to sift through large amounts of data and distill it into information about our customers' wants and needs. We then integrate these insights into our automated decision-making systems to constantly improve our services.

You will be responsible for understanding customer behavior and translating that into actionable insights that can impact real-time revenue and our user experience. The team isn't just skilled in math and programming, but has a real passion for business, a dream to go into uncharted territory with bold new ideas, and a willingness to go the last mile on execution.

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?

You’ll spend time on the following:

• You will design and develop processes and systems to consolidate and analyze unstructured, diverse data sources to generate actionable insights.

• You will work with product and service teams to identify questions and issues for data analysis and experimentation.

• You will use machine learning to build models that can address areas like user segmentation, churn, affinity, and conversion rates.

• You will develop software programs, algorithms, and automated processes to cleanse, integrate, and evaluate large datasets from multiple disparate sources.

• Identify meaningful insights from large data sources; interpret and communicate insights and findings from analysis and experiments to partners across the organization.

​We’re excited about you if you have:

• MS or PhD program in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Math, Statistics or related field

• Understanding of applied math topics, such as probability and statistics, linear algebra, basic optimization techniques, etc.

• You're an expert in SQL and Excel with experience in data warehouse technologies, such as Teradata

• You have hands-on experience with predictive analytics tools and machine learning techniques/algorithms

• Hands on experience with tools such as R, Python and familiarity with Teradata/Hadoop environment

• Experience in designing and analyzing multivariate tests

• Experience with data visualization tools such as Tableau, Splunk, or Kibana a plus

• You have experience translating business objectives and problems into analytic problems, and analytic solutions into actionable business solutions
