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.

About the Role

Coupang operates one of the largest and most complex technology platforms in the world. We are seeking a Senior Director, Software Supply Chain Platform to build and lead the company-wide platform for secure, reproducible, and automated software delivery. This leader will own build systems, dependency and library management, artifact repositories, software provenance, supply chain security, and automated remediation.

The mission is to ensure every Coupang service is built from approved, patched, traceable, and policy-compliant components while removing dependency-management and patching burden from domain engineering teams. We are looking for a visionary, industry-recognized platform leader who has previously conceived, built, and scaled comparable build, dependency, or software supply chain systems in a leading global technology company.

What You Will Do

• Set a bold, multi-year vision for software supply chain and build platforms, translate that vision into an executable roadmap, and align senior leaders across engineering and security.
• Define and own the company-wide strategy for secure builds, dependency governance, artifact management, and software supply chain automation.
• Build a unified platform that manages internal and third-party libraries, coordinated version sets, frameworks, base images, and build artifacts.
• Establish developer golden paths that make secure and compliant software delivery the default experience.
