LocationSingapore
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.

• Multi-turn dialogue context modeling and state tracking
• Agentic dialogue systems driven by workflow execution
• Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) for Question Answering
• Reward model design and strategy optimization via reinforcement learning
• Agent framework design and implementation

You will also work closely with product, business, operations, and engineering teams, participating throughout the full lifecycle—from problem definition and solution design to deployment and iteration—to ensure the effective and continuous improvement of algorithm solutions.
