What kind of developers are you hiring? I may misunderstand what Groupon does (though I have both offered coupons and consumed coupons via Groupon) but apart from tooling for your sales staff, what kind of 'rearchitecting' needs to be done? Wouldn't expanding the sales staff be a better investment?
- pchristensen 16y agoTypical high traffic stuff. Expected traffic growth is a big number and we've already had availability problems. We're also consolidating all of the overseas deals onto the main platform, and that alone will double-ish our traffic. If you're good at or want to work on Big Huge Websites, this is a good place to be. There's also the problem of targeting based on preferences, deal performance, purchase history. Think personalized searxh results. The team in Palo Alto is doing a lot of that stuff. Of course, we aren't spending the whole billion on technology. Lots of sales people will be hired :)
