On the 5th, Coupang announced that it will hire about 30 professional Korean-English translators and interpreters as full-time employees. Applicants include not only those who have completed or graduated from graduate programs in Korean-English translation and interpretation, but also current professionals in the field who did not graduate from translation and interpretation universities. Both entry-level and experienced candidates can apply.

Those hired as Coupang translators and interpreters will perform simultaneous interpretation and translation tasks in meetings at Coupang, where talents of various nationalities work. There are diverse and new business areas such as distribution, logistics, AI, and OTT, providing opportunities to gain experience in these fields.

Coupang assigns work organizations considering the career and background of translators and interpreters, but through rotational work, they can gain experience in multiple business sectors. Even without prior understanding of specific business areas, candidates can develop expertise in necessary fields of translation and interpretation through various training programs provided by Coupang.

The recruitment process consists of ▲document screening ▲phone interview ▲translation and interpretation test ▲video interview in order. All interviews are conducted online, and the translation and interpretation test includes translation as well as consecutive and simultaneous interpretation. This recruitment is ongoing and will close once the positions are filled.
