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 more effortless than ever, we are collectively disrupting the multi-billion-dollar e-commerce industry from the ground up. We’re one of the fastest-growing e-commerce companies with 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 significant global public company. This fuels us to continue our growth and launch new services at the speed we have been at since our inception. We are all entrepreneurs 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.

Our mission to build the future of commerce is real. We push the boundaries of what’s possible to solve problems and break traditional tradeoffs. Join Coupang to create an epic experience in this always-on, high-tech, hyper-connected world.
Role Overview
Coupang relies on technology to provide on-time, fast delivery of products to customers every day. The Global Inventory and Promise Systems organization (GIPS) is responsible for promises made to customers around inventory, serviceability, and delivery dates. And based on that promise, optimizes for fulfillment such that fulfillment can happen at the lowest possible cost while maintaining the promise date. Promise to customers involves real-time synchronization of inventory and serviceability data across multiple systems and serving of that promise at large scale and low latency. This creates unique tech challenges in terms of low-latency event processing, low-latency data serving, and consistency challenges. Building highly available, low latency, scalable, strong, consistent systems to handle billions of promise requests made per day is a complex architectural challenge. The ideal candidate will have excellent engineering skills, business sense, and rich experience leading the build of extensible and scalable solutions to solve complex business features.

- 10+ years of experience in developing and operating backend services and web applications for low latency servicing and messaging systems using complex event processing.

- Experience building complex, high-performance, highly available distributed software systems successfully delivered to customers.
- Experience in collaborating with cross-functional teams to define mission, vision, and roadmaps.
- Experience partnering with product and program management teams.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with distributed cache such as Apache Ignite, Redis, etc., with distributed processing of data streams using Spark and Flink.
- Experience with Kafka, Stream Processing, Complex Event Processing, data synchronization between systems, low latency serving systems, and inventory management.
- Experience in building strongly consistent and low latency data synchronization and processing systems.
- Solid engineering skills as a lead engineer to coach and lead high-performing software engineers and keep them motivated.
- Demonstrated leadership in a cross-functional, highly collaborative environment.
- Track record of developing engineers through various career stages and building high-performance teams.
- Demonstrated focus on continuously improving systems, software, and processes through data analysis and metrics.
- Able to operate independently and lead through ambiguity in fast-paced environments.
