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.
Our VisionWe believe AI can fundamentally change how customers find, evaluate, and engage with local experiences. No more scrolling through static listings—imagine a world where every deal feels personally curated, and every merchant has a smart agent helping them create, optimize, and grow.
What You’ll Work OnYou’ll join our cross-functional AI task force, driving some of the most high-impact initiatives at Groupon. Current projects include:
- AI-generated deal pages that automatically write compelling copy, tag content, and select the right visuals.
- Personalized discovery and ranking based on user intent, behavior, and real-time trends.
- LLM-powered merchant scoring, helping us predict performance, quality, and fit.
- AI agents that help merchants create new offers, price competitively, and resolve issues—fast.
- AI Deal Generator: A powerful internal tool that turns merchant data into ready-to-launch offers in minutes. What used to take up to 2 weeks due to manual inputs and coordination now happens nearly instantly.
This is not about internal tools or abstract innovation—it’s aboutshipping real, user-facing AI products at scale.

- Executive buy-in to become anAI-first company
- A refreshed product and engineering leadership team
- A massive opportunity to reinvent a category that’s ripe for change
