Deals marketplace for dining, travel, and leisure experiences across Europe
Social Deal operates a flash-deals platform connecting consumers to local experiences—restaurants, spa, travel packages—across the Netherlands and expanding into Germany, France, Belgium, and Switzerland. The stack is PHP + MySQL backend with modern frontend layers (Vue, Nuxt, TypeScript) and native mobile apps (Swift, Kotlin), suggesting a consumer-first platform maturity. Hiring is heavily weighted toward sales (36 roles) and support (25 roles) relative to engineering (20 roles), reflecting a growth-and-scale-out phase where customer acquisition and retention are outpacing platform feature velocity.
