Job Description:

Groupon is undergoing a critical platform transformation, modernizing its core developer experience and CI/CD stack at scale. This high-impact role is central to the shift, focusing on migrating hundreds of repositories from Jenkins to GitHub Actions and embedding an AI-First approach into our platform engineering practices. You will be a key owner and technical leader, building the reliable, observable, and cost-efficient pipelines that thousands of engineers rely on daily to accelerate feature delivery and business impact. This is a globally distributed, high-ownership role offering significant autonomy.

Job Responsibility:

Platform Transformation: Lead the design, planning, and execution of the Jenkins-to-GitHub Actions migration across a large portfolio of microservices
Pipeline Engineering: Design and optimize high-performance, secure, and observable CI/CD workflows across GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and Kubernetes environments
AI-First Automation: Drive an AI-First workflow by leveraging tools (e.g., Copilot, code generation) to eliminate infrastructure toil, accelerate development, and analyze pipeline failures
Core Automation: Develop robust platform automation (e.g., Python, Go, Bash) to improve build efficiency, artifact caching, reliability, and repository hygiene
Security & Compliance: Harden CI/CD infrastructure with robust controls for secrets management, RBAC, audit logging, and secure runner design
Observability: Implement and enhance CI/CD observability using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry to provide deep insights into performance and reliability
Technical Leadership: Mentor engineers and partner across Cloud, Security, and Developer Experience teams to define and evolve our end-to-end delivery platform architecture

Requirements:

5+ years of dedicated experience in Platform Engineering, DevOps, or Infrastructure roles
Deep expertise building, scaling, and migrating CI/CD systems, with strong practical experience in Jenkins and/or GitHub Actions
Expertise in scripting and automation (Python, Go, or Bash)
Solid understanding of container technologies, Kubernetes, and cloud build systems
Proven experience leveraging AI tooling (e.g., Claude Code, code analysis) to meaningfully increase developer output and optimize platform work
Excellent communication and ability to drive technical decisions across multiple platform and product teams

Nice to have:

Experience implementing or managing observability for CI/CD using Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, or OpenTelemetry
Background in CI/CD security, secrets management, and compliance controls (e.g., using GitHub Enterprise features)
Experience integrating AI tools directly into pipelines for functions like security scanning or optimization
Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform or Helm for managing CI/CD infrastructure
