The Programme

The Engineering and Technology team is at the core of the Shopee platform development.

The team is made up of a group of passionate engineers from all over the world, striving to build the best systems with the most suitable technologies.  

Our engineers do not merely solve problems at hand; We build foundations for a long-lasting future. We don't limit ourselves to what we can or can't do; we take matters into our own hands even if it means drilling down to the bottom layer of the computing platform.

Shopee's hyper-growing business scale has transformed most "innocent" problems into huge technical challenges, and there is no better place to experience it first-hand if you love technologies as much as we do.
