Description
We exist to wow our customers. We know we're doing the right thing when we hear our customers say, "How did we ever live without Coupang?" Born out of an obsession to make shopping, eating, and living easier than ever, we're collectively disrupting the multi-billion-dollar e-commerce industry from the ground up. We are one of the fastest-growing e-commerce companies that established an unparalleled reputation for being a dominant and reliable force in South Korean commerce.
We are proud to have the best of both worlds — a startup culture with the resources of a large global public company. This fuels us to continue our growth and launch new services at the speed we have been since our inception. We are all entrepreneurial surrounded by opportunities to drive new initiatives and innovations. At our core, we are bold and ambitious people that like to get our hands dirty and make a hands-on impact. At Coupang, you will see yourself, your colleagues, your team, and the company grow every day.
We are looking for an experienced and passionate engineering leader who can champion the design and development of our services, drive alignment with leadership and stakeholders, influence and build trust with teams, and execute delivery of complex systems considering scalability, future extensibility, and reliability.
The desired candidate will help building the world class systems and bring innovations in our complex distributed back-end systems. The work will require the out-of-the-box thinking to simplify the tech complexity and wow our customers through best in class delivery experience.
Our mission to build the future of commerce is real. We push the boundaries of what's possible to solve problems and break traditional trade-offs. Join Coupang now to create an epic experience in this always-on, high-tech, and hyper-connected world.
At Coupang, the Global Transportation Technology team's vision is to build technology solutions that provide most efficient, flexible, reliable, and resilient delivery experience to our customers and delivery experience to our drivers.
As the technology provider behind most of Coupang's customer deliveries, we continuously improve through operational and engineering excellence.
Key Responsibilities:
Lead architecture design for scalable, extensible, and reliable systems in Post Purchase & LFS.
Align technology roadmaps with leadership and stakeholders.
Remove technical blockers and simplify complex problems into actionable solutions.
Decompose complex problems into simple, straightforward solutions, providing mechanisms for the teams to prioritize ruthlessly and "Move with Urgency."
Write code when needed to guide teams and support high-priority initiatives.
Identify business and tech opportunities; evaluate and adopt new technologies.
Recruit, mentor, and grow top-tier engineering talent.
Essential Qualifications:
At least 15+ years in software development, with a strong record of delivering impactful, large-scale systems.
7+ years building and operating backend services and web applications.
Deep expertise in distributed systems, storage, data processing, and server technologies.
Strong coding skills in Java and Spring Framework; object-oriented design.
Experience driving improvements in code quality
Additionally, experience with:
AWS-based service development and operations
Frontend frameworks (React, Angular)
ORM tools (JPA, Hibernate), domain modeling
NoSQL and relational/columnar databases
Git, CI/CD automation, and Agile methodologies
Logistics-related service development
Equal Opportunities for All
