- You will own the technical direction, delivery, and people growth for your team while partnering closely with business stakeholders to deliver a world-class finance & settlement platform.
- The CGFS (Coupang Global Financial Settlement) team is responsible for the end-to-end settlement platform — from vendor master management and AR/AP register s, through netting engines and tax invoicing, to payment execution and GL posting.
- We process billions of dollars in settlements annually across multiple countries and business models.

- Partner with Product, Accounting, Treasury, and Tax teams to translate complex business requirements into scalable technical solutions
- Drive architecture decisions across Java backend services, distributed data stores (MySQL/ TiDB, DynamoDB, Aurora), and streaming infrastructure (Kafka, Flink, Spark)
- Establish engineering excellence — code quality, operational readiness, on-call practices, and incident response
- Manage cross-functional dependencies and delivery timelines across multiple platform capabilities
- Mentor engineers, conduct performance reviews, and build a high-performing engineering culture
- Drive migration from legacy SAP-based settlement to modern microservices architecture
- Ensure platform reliability, correctness, and auditability for financial-grade systems processing billions in daily settlements
Qualifications:
- 8+ years of software engineering experience with 3+ years in engineering management
- Strong technical background in Java backend development and distributed systems
- Experience managing teams of 10 + engineers through full development lifecycle
- Hands-on experience with relational databases (MySQL, Aurora, TiDB ) and NoSQL (DynamoDB)
- Experience with event-driven architectures and streaming platforms (Kafka, Flink, or Spark)
- Track record of delivering large-scale, high-reliability platforms on time
- Strong communication skills — ability to translate between business stakeholders and engineering teams
- BS/MS in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience
- Experience in finance, accounting, payments, or e-commerce settlement domains
- Experience with financial-grade systems (auditability, reconciliation, idempotency, data correctness)
- Experience migrating legacy monolithic systems to microservices
- Experience with OLAP/analytics engines (Hive, Pinot) for operational reporting
- Experience operating at scale in a fast-growing, multi-country environment
- Hybrid / Onsite / Remote working
