Groupon is seeking top-notch developers who love working on all  
aspects of software used by millions of people around the world. We  
are looking to add to a talented team of folks who are passionate  
about software and work to build efficient and scalable systems to  
support our growing platform.

Some great things we have been able to deliver include a site built  
entirely on Rails which scaled throughout a short period of immense  
growth. We have a proven commitment to having the fastest turnaround  
possible for our customers, believe in short iterations and having  
direct involvement with the business. For example, aside from helping  
conceive and design a loyalty program, we implemented it from the  
bottom up and brought it to beta within weeks. Internally, we continue  
to build great tools for our own staff to help them kick ass.
