Senior Search Engineer

Groupon is a marketplace where customers discover new experiences and services everyday 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 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. Grow as a developer by building things that help local businesses around the world thrive. Our team is responsible for maintaining and developing Groupon's recommendations engine, ensuring personalized and relevant experiences for users. We optimize algorithms, enhance system performance, and support integration with external recommendation engines for specialized use cases, continuously improving recommendation quality through data-driven insights. We are looking for a senior software engineer to join our team to support and evolve our Search and Ranking solutions, with expertise in building algorithms using search engines like Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, Solr. This role requires a deep understanding of system design, scalability and performance optimization.
