Community-driven deal-sharing platform across web, mobile app and browser extension
Slickdeals runs a community deal-voting platform on a data-heavy stack — Databricks, dbt, Airflow, Kafka and AtScale feeding Tableau, with SageMaker, PyTorch and TensorFlow for modeling. Job posts point to an Android modernization push (Kotlin, Jetpack Compose adoption, modularization) alongside a strategic shift from deal forum toward daily shopping destination, while senior-weighted hiring is slowing.
Slickdeals operates an online community where shoppers post, vet and vote on deals from retailers, available through a website, mobile app and browser extension. Founded in 1999 and headquartered in San Mateo, CA, the privately held company employs 51–200 people. Revenue themes include advertising and couponing alongside the consumer deal experience. Engineering runs on AWS with Python, Java and Kotlin, backed by Elasticsearch, HBase and Kafka for search and data movement.
