Groupon connects 42 million customers with local experiences - restaurants, events, wellness and travel - and the million-plus merchants who deliver them. Our mission is to get people offline and into the real world at prices that make it possible. We're an AI-native company in the middle of a platform transformation, moving from a deals marketplace to an experience discovery platform that works for customers and merchants at the same time.
Groupon's data infrastructure underpins every merchant deal, every customer transaction, and every operational decision the business makes. As we scale and modernize the platform, the quality of our database design is not a backend concern — it's a competitive constraint. This role owns it.
We’re excited about you if you have the following requirements:
Extreme Ownership: If a downstream application breaks because of a schema decision, you own the diagnosis. You don't stop at
the database boundary.
Impact Obsessed: Clean design that nobody uses doesn't count. Your deliverables exist to make applications faster, data more
reliable, and teams more independent.
Speed Over Comfort: Imperfect data models that are documented and iterable beat perfect ones that never ship.
- Base Salary: $154,000 - $170,000 + Participation in company annual bonus plan and equity scheme.
- Onsite work model: Chicago office
- Benefits: Starting the 1st of the month after your start date: Medical, dental, vision, life insurance, disability, FSAs, EAP, 401(k) match, ESPP, and more.

Beware of Recruitment Fraud: Groupon follows a merit-based recruitment process without charging job seekers any fees. We've noticed an increase in recruitment fraud, including fake job postings and fraudulent interviews and job offers aimed at stealing personal information or money. Be cautious of individuals falsely representing Groupon's Talent Acquisition team with fake job offers. If you encounter any suspicious job offers or interview calls demanding money, recognize these as scams. Groupon is not responsible for losses from such dealings.
