Every day, LivingSocial features an amazing experience in 55+ cities across the US and Europe for unbeatable local discounts. We are redefining social commerce and are looking for experienced developers to join our team in Washington, D.C.
The company was founded three years ago by four friends, three of which were engineers. Through the company's growth, the tech team has remained small because we believe more can be done with less of the right people. Starting in the Facebook application space, our team has built products used by over 90M people, including one application which grew from zero to 35M users in 3 weeks, reaching 3-4 billion of hits per month.
Primarily focused on connecting people with their interests, the team has migrated from creating online communities to fostering offline social commerce. And we've only just begun.
