About The Position

We are building a new Zero-One startup within Coupang focused on in-house development of Robotics and Automation technology to support our fulfillment and logistics network. Global Operations Automation and Robotics Technology is an organization responsible for developing and deploying the most advanced and innovative fulfillment and transportation automation and robotics solutions that will transform Coupang’s fulfillment and logistics network. This is a unique opportunity to join a startup within one of the leading e-Commerce companies in Asia. The team will be based out of Coupang’s offices in Mountain View or Seoul. We are looking for experienced Computer Vision experts. This technology leader will draw from rich experiences and deep expertise in developing and deploying automation solutions using computer vision to define our technology roadmap and lead the design, implementation, and rollout of advanced robotic perception solutions over Coupang’s logistics network. With a startup mindset, this technology leader can operate comfortably under ambiguity, with the opportunity to initially be hands-on while building the computer vision technology and product from ground-up, grow the org and deliver results under time and resource constraints.
