Job Title: Product Design System Engineer
Job Location: Czechia; Prague
Job Listing URL: https://job-boards.eu.greenhouse.io/groupon/jobs/4650686101
Job Description: 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 UI is a patchwork—different teams ship different button styles, and inconsistencies hurt our user experience and conversion. We need someone to take ownership and drive true, lasting consistency across Groupon’s frontend.

🧑🏼‍💻What You'll Own:

Build, maintain, and scale Groupon’s central design system (think: production-ready React components, tokens, and up-to-date documentation)

Create and optimize reusable React components (with Tailwind CSS & Storybook) that actually get adopted by teams

Champion consistency, accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA), and quality across products—without becoming the design police

Collaborate closely with designers (Figma), frontend engineers, QA, and PMs to deliver a unified UI vision

🔎Must-Have Skills:

3+ years production React component library experience

Advanced Tailwind CSS (beyond basics), Storybook, and Git proficiency

Can easily switch between code and Figma—communication and teamwork across design & engineering

Experience improving adoption of design systems across multiple teams

Strong accessibility knowledge (WCAG 2.1 AA)

🥳Nice-to-Haves:

Experience with e-commerce, marketplace, or large-scale consumer apps

Tailwind config & performance tuning chops

Some design/UX background

🏆What Success Looks Like:

Month 1: UI audit complete, first quick wins shipped

Month 3: Core components live, 30% adoption

Month 6: 80% adoption, measurable conversion lift

The Setup:

Work closely with product designers, frontend engineers & QA across multiple teams

No relocation; CET hours preferred, fully remote

High visibility, long-term impact, and a chance to set the UI standard for a global brand

💚Ready to untangle real-world UI messes—and keep them clean for millions of users? Apply now and help us build the foundation for Groupon’s next chapter.
