GRPN · CAREERS · 2026Build while running.

Build the marketplace.
Rebuild the company.

Groupon is rewriting its marketplace with AI at the core, not in the roadmap, in the pull request. If you want to build systems that are live, pressured, and consequential, this is the arena.

View Open Roles See the Arena
02 / 08The Arena

This is not a clean-room transformation.

Groupon has real users, real merchants, real legacy systems, real revenue pressure, and real operational constraints. That is exactly why the work matters.

// what you are walking into
01

Live marketplace

Real users, real merchants, real revenue. Every change ships into a system that is already moving.

02

Legacy systems

Code that has shipped value for a decade. Some replaced. Some learned from. All running.

03

AI transformation

Six active AI workflows in production. More in pilot. The integration is the job, not the bonus.

04

Customer weight

Customers depend on us. The work has weight before applause.

05

Company-scale pressure

A public company in motion. The transformation runs alongside the quarter, not after it.

06

Operational reality

No clean room. No greenfield. The arena is the platform you already run.

The right people will not see the chaos as a defect. They will see it as the arena.

03 / 08What AI-Native Means Here

AI-native is not a claim. It is the work.

A definition by behavior, not branding.

  1. 01
    Leverage, not decoration

    Builders use AI as leverage.

    AI shows up in our pull requests, our merchant tooling, our finance close, our marketing ops. Not in the pitch deck. In the artifact.

    // surface: code, ops, comms
  2. 02
    Agentic by design

    Workflows are redesigned around agents, tools and feedback loops.

    We don't bolt AI onto last year's process. We delete the process and rebuild it with the model in the loop.

    // pattern: model-in-the-loop
  3. 03
    Every function plays

    Engineering, product, sales, finance, marketing, ops, people.

    AI-native is a company posture, not a department. Every function is rewriting how it operates.

    // scope: company-wide
  4. 04
    Playbook in motion

    Building the playbook while doing the work.

    There is no finished operating manual. Joining now means co-authoring it: in code, in docs, in shipped decisions.

    // state: in progress
04 / 08Proof, Not Claims

Show the artifact. Then talk.

Six examples of what AI-native looks like at Groupon today. Some are live, some are pilot, all are real.

Quiet engineering pod after hours with two monitors
Agentic Development

Software Factory

Background coding agents pick up issues, write code, open PRs, and loop engineers in for review. Stack 2.0 target: any senior engineer ships a new microservice from spec to production in under two hours.

Researcher reviewing AI-driven resolution dashboard
Customer Experience

Autonomous customer resolution

An LLM-powered agent resolves customer contacts end-to-end: identifying the order, checking merchant status, issuing refunds, extending vouchers. No human in the loop on standard cases. Path from 55% to 90%+ deflection.

community ops · globalLive
Field salesperson and local merchant reviewing AI-generated brief
Sales

Signal-triggered merchant outreach

First-party transaction signals plus merchant intelligence decide when to reach out, who to reach, and what to say. Reps walk into every call fully briefed by AI. No volume blasting. No cold sequences.

Analyst desk with finance performance models
Finance

AI CFO Brain

An always-on finance partner any commercial leader can talk to. Evaluates revenue performance daily, surfaces escalations, models scenarios, and updates its understanding of the business every day.

Merchant booking availability data flow
Merchant Tooling

AI bookability

We scrape merchant availability and surface live booking windows on the deal page. Customers see real openings. Conversion goes up. Merchants do nothing.

Merchant health monitoring dashboard
Marketplace

Predictive merchant health

Continuous monitoring of payment failures, redemption decline, review anomalies, and customer signals. Bad merchant experiences get caught and resolved before a customer ever contacts us.

05 / 08Builder Profile

The right person does not need perfect conditions.

They need leverage, agency, hard problems, and enough discomfort to keep learning.

01
High agency

Moves without permission slips. Repairs the road while driving on it.

02
Low ego

Brings the best answer, not the loudest one. Lets the artifact be the argument.

03
Strong execution

Closes loops. Ships things that compound.

04
Comfortable with ambiguity

Writes the spec from the empty page. Re-writes it after contact.

05
Uses AI deeply

Treats the model like a tool, a teammate, and a fault tolerance, all at the same time.

06
Thinks in systems

Sees second-order effects. Designs for the version of the company that does not exist yet.

07
Learns in public

Posts the rough cut. Welcomes the redline.

08
Ships under constraints

Quarters, customers, capital: treated as the design space, not the obstacle.
