Groupon Goods is a 5-year-old online retail arm of Groupon. Our vision is to be the trusted destination for customers to discover great value on quality products. From a small experiment, Groupon Goods has grown to more than a third of Groupon’s purchases.

Logistics is core to retail -  crucial to the overall experience delivered to customers and our long-term growth strategy. Moreover, based on customer surveys, logistics influences 4 of the top 5 customer needs - trust, shipping speed, value, and returns. Developing software at Groupon is challenging, fun and rewarding. And no place embodies this more than the Goods Logistics Technology Team. We’re still a start-up (yet stable) culture which rewards innovation and rapid time to market.  In less than 18 months, the Goods Logistics Technology team of ~20 engineers built ground-up an e2e supply chain management system that manages a $1.5B+ business. We deliver too fast for bureaucracy to take root.  

The Goods Logistics Technology Team is looking for a Senior Manager of Engineering to lead the next chapter in our machine learning platform -- to forecast demand in new markets and become the basis of our pricing algorithms. You will work closely with Product, Business and Operations teams and will be responsible for scoping, architectural design, interfacing with other technology teams and managing the iterative rollout of features. All the systems we build/manage are mission critical. This means quality and reliability are paramount and large scale launches have to be threaded carefully without impacting day-2-day business.
