Backend developer in Ruby / Ruby on Rails

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. Ready to ditch the legacy code and build something revolutionary from the ground up? We're seeking a visionary Senior Ruby on Rails Developer to be a cornerstone of our new, greenfield B2B platform. This isn't just another coding job; it's your chance to architect, innovate, and lead. And guess what? We're not just building for today. We're building for tomorrow, with a planned evolution to a modern TypeScript stack! We're looking for a forward-thinker excited to learn, grow, and spearhead this transition with us in approximately a year. Why This Role is Your Next Big Move: 🌟 Build from Scratch on a Cutting-Edge Stack: Initially, you'll masterfully wield Ruby on Rails to lay the foundation of our ambitious B2B platform. Get ready to embrace modern TypeScript and cloud-native technologies as we evolve! 👑 True End-to-End Ownership: Forget being a ticket-taker. You'll have direct impact on architecture, design, and product delivery. Your vision will shape the platform. 🌍 Flexible Work, Prague Heart: Enjoy the best of both worlds with remote/hybrid flexibility while collaborating closely with our agile, Prague-based team. Experience startup-like speed and impact. ✨ High Visibility, Maximum Impact: Join a small, dynamic team where your contributions don't just get noticed—they define the platform's future and direction. 🌱 Career Catapult: Be an integral part of an early-stage team tackling complex, rewarding problems. This is your launchpad to grow into tech lead roles and beyond. What You'll Be Doing: Architecting, designing, and developing robust, scalable backend services for our new B2B platform using Ruby on Rails. Collaborating closely with a tight-knit team to define features and deliver high-quality software. Championing best practices in code quality, testing, and deployment. Preparing for and actively participating in our exciting transition to a TypeScript-based microservices architecture. Mentoring and guiding other developers as the team grows.
