Software Development Engineer III — 3PIP Integrations & Inventory Systems
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.
About the team
A large part of Groupon's experiences business — tours, attractions, live events, days out — runs on inventory Groupon doesn't own itself. The 3PIP Integrations & Inventory Systems team builds the platform that makes that work: connecting Groupon to its third-party partners, and making sure a customer can find something they want, book it, pay for it, and actually use it, smoothly, from end to end.
It's an interesting place to sit, because we're the layer that has to make independent systems agree with each other. Every partner models their world a little differently. Groupon's own platform — commerce, ordering, catalog, scheduling, notifications — has a shape of its own. Our job is to hold all of that together so the experience feels like one coherent thing to the customer.
