Role Overview
Coupang is seeking a highly technical and execution-focused Staff Technical Program Manager to lead Engineering Controls, Operational Governance, IT SOX Compliance, Security, Privacy and Technology Risk initiatives across Coupang's technology ecosystem.
This role sits at the intersection of software engineering, DevOps, cloud infrastructure, operational excellence, compliance, and AI-enabled governance. The primary focus is ownership of IT SOX Change Management controls and serving as a Second Line of Defense (2LOD) partner to engineering teams by independently assessing control effectiveness, monitoring software deployment activities, identifying compliance risks, and driving scalable engineering controls.
As Coupang continues to evolve its engineering platform, this role will help modernize compliance through automation, analytics, engineering telemetry, and AI-driven monitoring. The TPM will build a control environment that improves risk visibility, audit readiness, and operational excellence while minimizing compliance friction for engineering teams.
Unlike traditional audit or compliance roles, this position requires deep expertise in modern software development, CI/CD, release management, cloud-native architectures, deployment automation, and engineering operations. The ideal candidate is a former Software Engineer, Platform Engineer, DevOps Engineer, or SRE who has transitioned into technical program leadership and can effectively partner with engineers, architects, security leaders, auditors, and executives.
You will work closely with Engineering, Platform, Security, Privacy, Finance, Internal Audit, and Governance teams to strengthen controls, automate compliance processes, improve reliability, and enable rapid software delivery without compromising risk objectives.

Lead Change Management Governance
Drive CI/CD Governance & Engineering Controls
