Coupang

Company Introduction    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 ecommerce 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.    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 now to create an epic experience in this always-on, high-tech, and hyper-connected world.   Job Overview   Global Operations Automation and Robotics Technology (GO ART) is the Zero-One organization within Coupang chartered to design, build, and deploy the most advanced fulfillment and transportation automation and robotics solutions in the industry. We are transforming Coupang's logistics network through in-house robotics, computer vision, and AI — at a scale and speed unmatched in Asian e-commerce. The team is based in Mountain View, Seattle, and Seoul.   We are looking for a Senior Director of Robotics & Computer Vision to lead the technical strategy, organization, and delivery of GO ART's robotic perception and manipulation programs end-to-end. This executive is the single technical owner for how Coupang's fulfillment centers see, reason about, and physically interact with the world.   The right candidate is a player-coach technology leader who has personally built and shipped robotic perception or manipulation systems at production scale, and who has subsequently grown and led multi-team organizations (engineers, applied scientists, and hardware/integration partners) that deliver against aggressive operational milestones. They are equally comfortable presenting a research roadmap to executives, debugging a 6-DoF pose-estimation pipeline on the floor of an FC, and recruiting world-class talent into a fast-moving Zero-One environment.   Key Responsibilities * Own the technical vision and multi-year roadmap for robotic perception, manipulation, and CV-driven automation across Coupang's global fulfillment and logistics network. * Build and lead the org — multiple teams of CV engineers, robotics engineers, applied scientists, and ML engineers across the U.S. and Korea.

Now, we are undertaking our most ambitious evolution yet: transforming our software into an Open, Autonomous Platform.   We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to own Pillar 3 of our roadmap: Scalable & Composable Experiences. You will look beyond the tactical wins of today to architect the ecosystem of tomorrow (Q3 2026 and beyond).   Your mission is to decouple our technology into modular building blocks (APIs, SDKs) and automate the operations of our distributed Edge-to-Cloud infrastructure.   Responsibilities   Empower Outsight teams, partners and large clients to build their own custom applications using Outsight "bricks" directly inside their environments, without needing our engineering team.   Enable customers to stream clean spatial data directly into their own BI tools (PowerBI, Tableau etc.) or feed it into AI Agents/LLMs.   You will define the roadmap for "Headless" deployments, where the value is purely in the API data stream.   Zero-Touch Operations:   Operation scalability: Enable the operations team to manage 10x the number of sites with the same headcount.   Unified Fleet Management: A single control plane to monitor the health of the entire pipeline (Sensor status → Edge processing load → Cloud connectivity).   Self-Healing Infrastructure: Automated detection and resolution of issues (e.g., auto-restarting Edge services, “OTA” firmware updates for appliances, automated re-calibration of sensors).   Deep Observability: Build the framework for accurate and actionable metrics about our system health, status, and security. You will ensure we have a real-time pulse on everything from sensor temperature and edge CPU load to cloud API latency.   What are the requirements for the role?   Must-Haves:   5+ years in Product Management, with a specific focus on B2B SaaS Platforms or IoT/Edge Computing.   Hybrid Infrastructure Fluency: You have managed products that involve both Hardware/Edge devices and Cloud software.   You understand the challenges of distributed fleets (connectivity, bandwidth and latency constraints).   API & Developer Experience: You have experience defining API strategies (REST/gRPC) and SDKs. You know how to build a product for developers as the end-user.   Platform Thinking: You can demonstrate experience where you shifted a product from a monolithic app to a modular platform.   Strategic Vision: Ability to define a 12-18 month roadmap that balances technical debt, architectural evolution, and commercial value.   Nice-to-Haves:   Background in DevOps/Cloud Architecture: Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, or Fleet Management tools (e.g., Balena, AWS Greengrass) is a huge plus.   Spatial Tech Experience: Familiarity with Lidar, Digital Twins, GIS, or Computer Vision.   Enterprise Security: Experience implementing RBAC, SSO, or Zero Trust architectures for large enterprise clients.   Why join us?    Complexity & Scale: You will solve unique challenges at the intersection of Hardware, Edge Computing, and Cloud SaaS.   Autonomy: This is a distinct "Pillar" of our product. You will have significant ownership over the direction of the Platform strategy.   Impact: You are joining at the pivotal moment where we scale from "Product" to "Platform"—the most exciting phase for any B2B tech company. Be part of the team pioneering Spatial Intelligence solutions at unprecedented scale—the breakthrough technology transforming how the world’s most prestigious airports, infrastructure operators, and smart cities understand and optimize physical flows.   ---   As a 7-time Gartner-recognized category-defining leader with dozens of global awards including “Edge AI Product of the Year,” “LiDAR Leader Award,” “CES Best of Innovation” and many more, we’re backed by 37 patents and deployments with the most prestigious (and challenging) customers across four continents.   Join our international team of world-class experienced engineers and business leaders solving humanity’s most complex spatial challenges, from passenger flow optimization to autonomous robotics coordination, while working at the cutting edge of 3D AI, LiDAR perception, and real-time analytics.   Supported by rock-solid investors including BNP Paribas, BPI France, Energy Innovation Capital and Demeter who back our long-term vision, this is your opportunity to shape how physical and digital worlds interact, with the resources, growth trajectory, and technical challenges that will accelerate your career in ways traditional companies cannot offer.   ---   Outsight is an Equal Employment Opportunity employer that pursues and hires a diverse workforce.
