Groupon is working on lots of cool technology (beyond group buying) to make life easier and more affordable for people who love to travel.
Do you love to travel? Do online travel agencies frustrate you with how they make is so difficult to search for and book vacations at the best price? The Groupon Global Travel team (Getaways) is reshaping the way consumers think about buying online travel. Launched in July 2011, Groupon Global Travel is the suitcase-toting team dedicated to Groupon’s travel vertical.
We’re not your typical online travel platform. We are working to create packages that delight both suppliers and Groupon subscriber alike. For lodging, we focus on independent and boutique properties as well as chains and B&Bs and listen to their needs to craft a deal that is going to get them the customers that they want, when they want them. There is a lot more to come. Out with the old ways of features that serve as price comparisons. We’re in the business of featuring travel for everything it is – opportunities for our customers to relax, enjoy themselves, share special moments and be delighted.
As part of this effort we have several projects underway and more coming to significantly improve and enhance our travel related offering.
How would you like to put your love of travel, data, insights, scale, and Groupon to use all at once!? We’re looking to grow our travel development team to help wire our data sources to Hadoop, to Teradata and to Microstrategy and build out the basic data structures for a travel platform.
We’d love it if you were a contributor to the Hadoop family of open source; we’d love it if you have experience with Vertica and/or with Microstrategy… but most importantly, we want you to salivate at the mention of ‘big data’ and we want you to jump up and down with excitement at the thought of being a part of the initial team to design and build the data systems behind our travel platform!
A sampling of experiences on the wish-list are:
Lots of years experience with working with a modern BI stack, web logs, Hadoop
Experience dealing with scale… a lot of data, a lot of users
You’ve gotta be flexible! You want to be flexible! You love being flexible! We’ve got so many problems to solve!
And of course, you have to want to be a part of Groupon!
Some more technical requirements and nice-to-haves:
5+ years of *nix experience
5+ years of various database experience… MS SQL/Oracle/MySQL/Hadoop/etc …
5+ years of experience with C/C++/Java/Python/.Net
5+ years scripting experience with Perl, for example
Standard data warehousing approaches would be nice to know… star schema anyone?
