Descripción del empleo

Join to apply for the Lead Data & Systems Engineer – Growth & Lead Acquisition (Java, Python, Typescript..) role at Groupon

Groupon is a marketplace where customers discover new experiences and services every day 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 a 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 searching for a flexible, business-savvy engineer to own our end-to-end LeadGen and Lead Allocation pipelines. You should be comfortable working across a variety of languages (Java, Python, TypeScript, etc.) and adept at rapidly prototyping solutions to meet business needs. Think of this role as “mini-CTO” for our lead acquisition and enrichment processes, where you’ll ensure high-quality leads flow seamlessly from external sources to internal systems like Salesforce.

Why This Role Is Different :

Rather than seeking a narrowly focused Java developer, we need a creative problem-solver who can build and integrate data pipelines, orchestrate workflows, perform large-scale data transformations, and quickly pivot between technologies. If you thrive on learning new APIs, building POCs in days (not weeks), and delivering production-grade systems, this position is for you.

You'll Spend Time on the Following : End-to-End System Design

• Architect, develop, and maintain microservices or stand-alone scripts for lead acquisition and data enrichment.
• Flex between Java / Spring Boot, Python scripting, or TypeScript-based frameworks depending on project needs.
• Own the entire lifecycle : from initial prototype to scalable, production-ready deployments.

Workflow Orchestration & Automation

• Set up and maintain workflow orchestration using tools like Temporal, Airflow, or similar.
• Design resilient pipelines for data scraping, transformation, deduplication, and enrichment.
• Build in safeguards for data consistency and error handling, ensuring minimal downtime.
• Integrate with various external APIs (e.g., Apify, web scraping solutions) and internal data warehouses (EDW, BigQuery).
• Ensure data is enriched, cleaned, and deduplicated, leveraging advanced matching or ML-based algorithms.
• Pull in real-time or batch data from multiple sources to create a single, unified lead record.
• Rapidly develop proof-of-concept solutions to validate business ideas.
• Gather feedback from stakeholders, iterate quickly, and prepare for production deployment once validated.
• Own the “fail fast, learn fast” approach—optimizing for both agility and reliability.

Infrastructure & Deployment

• Containerize applications or scripts using Docker; collaborate on orchestration (Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, etc.).
• Participate in CI / CD processes, ensuring automated builds, tests, and deployments.
• Monitor and troubleshoot system performance, actively proposing optimizations.

Business Collaboration & Ownership

• Translate business objectives and lead-gen strategies into technical projects.
• Partner with product managers, marketing, and sales stakeholders to refine requirements and roadmap.
• Serve as the "go-to" technical advisor for anything related to lead data flows, from concept to final delivery.

Database & Analytics

• Work with PostgreSQL or other relational databases to model entities, handle migrations, and tune performance.
• Integrate BigQuery for large-scale data processing and analytics.
• Explore advanced queries or analytics to enhance lead scoring and enrichment logic.

Security & Best Practices

• Implement secure coding patterns, data validations, and compliance measures for sensitive data.
• Conduct code reviews, encourage testing automation, and champion clean coding standards.

Frontend (Optional, But Nice to Have)

• If comfortable, contribute to or lead the development of a future UI in React, Angular, or Vue.js.
• Collaborate with product and UX teams to ensure intuitive, seamless user interactions with lead data.

Skills & Experience Required : Technical Breadth :

• Comfort with multiple programming languages (e.g., Java, Python, TypeScript).
• Experience building RESTful APIs, data pipelines, and containerized microservices.

Prototyping Skills :

• Proven track record of rapidly creating MVPs or PoCs and iterating into full production systems.

Data Mastery :

• Familiarity with data manipulation at scale : scraping, ETL pipelines, schema design, and deduplication strategies.
• Knowledge of workflow orchestration platforms (Temporal, Airflow, or similar).

Business Mindset :

• Ability to understand growth objectives and translate them into actionable tech solutions.
• Experience working directly with non-technical stakeholders (Sales, Marketing) and turning requirements into specs.
• Comfortable making architecture decisions and justifying trade-offs to both technical and business teams.
• Able to take initiative and drive features from concept to completion with minimal oversight.

Bonus Points If You Have :

• Experience with DevOps practices, Kubernetes, or advanced container orchestration.
• Familiarity with front-end frameworks (React, Angular, or Vue.js).
