Team Overview

The Recommendations team optimizes the customer product discovery experience to drive long-term growth. As millions of shoppers encounter recommendations across every screen daily, these interactions account for over half of Coupang’s total sales alongside search, serving as a primary engine for key business initiatives. We focus on enhancing recommendation quality while providing our ranking systems as a platform for stakeholder teams company-wide. By leveraging state-of-the-art AI/ML technologies and building highly scalable systems, we aim to provide a "wow" discovery experience that anticipates customer needs even before they are explicitly expressed.

About the Role

As a Sr. Staff Machine Learning Engineer, you will drive the design, development, and evolution of our end-to-end recommendation systems, placing AI/ML innovation at the core of our recommendation quality. This role encompasses the full lifecycle of recommendations from architecting sophisticated ranking, retrieval, and relevance models to scaling the robust systems that power Coupang’s recommendations. You will partner with global cross-functional teams to own the customer discovery journey, continuously elevating the user experience through rigorous experimentation and the deployment of high-impact algorithms. If you are passionate about leveraging massive, real-time datasets and millions of customer interactions to drive tangible business and customer impact, and you want to solve genuine customer challenges through innovative AI/ML technology, this role is a perfect match for you.
