“Gilt Groupe”: http://www.gilt.com/sale/ – looking for Software Engineers
Gilt Groupe provides access, by invitation only, to Men’s, Women’s and Children’s coveted fashion and luxury brands at prices up to 70% off retail. Each sale lasts 36 hours and features hand selected styles from a single designer. The business model, based on urgency and scarcity, offers extraordinary goods at incredible prices, but only for a limited time. All of these sales occur daily at noon, driven by daily email reminders and alerts to a private membership. Most of the hot items are sold within the first 10 minutes, with the bulk of sales occurring within the first 90 minutes. The mania that ensues is similar to what we’ve seen at Black Friday rush at Walmart, the purchase of a new iPhone at an Apple Store, or the mad dash at sample sales like Filene’s Basement and Kleinfeld’s wedding gowns in New York City.
The business causes a daily, massive flood of transactional traffic at noon. Hundreds of thousands of shoppers compete online for the limited inventory, creating the need for a highly scalable and reliable web infrastructure. Our peak traffic is approaching the average load of large ecommerce sites like Amazon.com. The technology team must build an infrastructure that can scale to this capacity near noon, sustain the tremendous load for a few hours, then go away. Gilt Groupe requires the techniques of cloud computing and virtualization.
Our focus at Gilt Groupe is to drive extremely high levels of quality throughout the entire software development and deployment lifecycle, with a particular focus on functional correctness, aesthetic beauty, and stable performance under load.
