The Impact of a Principal Software Engineer at Coupa:
We're building out a new engineering pod in Mexico, and we need a Principal Engineer who will set the technical bar for what this team becomes. A Principal Engineer at Coupa is a hands-on, talented, innovative, and practical individual with functional experience to design, implement, and support products and product components on a predictable schedule. This is a senior IC role with equal parts hands-on execution and strategic technical leadership — you'll shape architecture, drive product-led growth, and be a force-multiplier for the engineers around you.
You'll work closely with a California-based Product Manager and peers in India and California, moving at startup pace within a platform that already operates at a serious scale. Our north star is growth: converting suppliers who discover the platform into registered, active users, and helping the best of them unlock paid features. Your technical decisions will directly influence how suppliers experience Coupa — and how quickly they see value from it.
We're hypothesis-driven and data-backed. We form a thesis, ship something, measure it, learn, and iterate. Fast.
