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 on 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.

**About the Team**:

- The Marketplace Order Operations team powers the critical order related features of Shopee as a platform through innovation and technology. In our pursuit to shape the way buyers and sellers connect with each other, we engineer scalable, reliable and extensible systems that evolve with the dynamic e-commerce landscape. As we scale to the next engineering frontier for the global market, we continuously solve unique challenges such as multi-market architecture design, highly sustainable systems, and core functional capabilities for the department. Our tech leaders take responsibility for products, define engineering roadmaps, and work with cross-functional teams to achieve excellence in product performance and technical sustainability.
