Dublin, Ireland Groupon Full time

Groupon is a marketplace where customers discover new experiences and services every day 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.

Groupon is embarking on a transformative journey, offering a challenging yet rewarding environment with unparalleled opportunities for personal and professional growth. Our mission is to reignite the company's growth and enhance the value we deliver to local vendors through compelling experiences and services for their customers.

7. Budget Management: Develop and maintain a cloud budget, monitoring spending and ensuring cost efficiency.
8. Risk Management: Provide strategic risk guidance and consultation, evaluating technical standards and controls.
9. Client and Industry Relations: Establish and maintain relationships with clients and industry leaders to enhance our cloud strategy and implementation.
10. Performance Monitoring: Monitor team performance, provide feedback, and drive the continuous improvement of our release processes.

What We’re Looking For

1. Experience: Proven experience in managing and leading teams of 20+ in cloud and infrastructure.
2. Technical Expertise: Deep hands-on experience with relevant cloud and infrastructure technologies (GCP is a strong preference), Kubernetes, Databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka), Jenkins.
3. Leadership Skills: Demonstrated ability to lead and inspire global teams, driving them to achieve organizational objectives.
4. Problem-Solving: Strong analytical skills with the ability to troubleshoot and resolve complex issues.
5. Communication: Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, capable of articulating complex technical concepts to various stakeholders.
6. Passion for Innovation: Energetic and forward-thinking, with a passion for leveraging technology to drive business success.

2. Tool Proficiency: Familiarity with Groupon tech stack including Kubernetes custom operators, Envoy/Istio, Terraform/Ansible, Java, Rails, Golang, Node, React, Jira, Confluence, and Asana.
3. Hybrid Cloud Experience: Experience in hybrid cloud environments, combining on-prem and cloud solutions.

Beware of Recruitment Fraud: Groupon follows a merit-based recruitment process without charging job seekers any fees. We've noticed an increase in recruitment fraud, including fake job postings and fraudulent interviews and job offers aimed at stealing personal information or money. Be cautious of individuals falsely representing Groupon's Talent Acquisition team with fake job offers. If you encounter any suspicious job offers or interview calls demanding money, recognize these as scams. Groupon is not responsible for losses from such dealings.
