Berlin is one out of 3 IT hubs Groupon operates (besides Palo Alto and Chicago)! We are working on the complete software engineering for 45 country platforms (based on Scrum), hosting databases in terabyte range, building up the business intelligence, and operating high-traffic, 24/7-availability platforms. Here in Berlin-Mitte we are ensuring the development and operation of the international platform across 5 continents.
Most people know Groupon only through the website but the really interesting part takes place unseen in the background. Here millions of transactions are carried out and millions of e-mails are sent every day. Tiny cogs and gears are meshing together and forming the basis for affiliate networks, mobile apps, search clusters and real-time relevance engines.
