How do I get hired as a Software Engineer at Shopee Singapore? Tell us about yourself and your job scope at Shopee
I am a software engineer in the Machine Learning Platform team, and I mainly work on Data Science tools and products to make our work as Data Scientists more productive.
You can check out YouTube for resume writing resources. The videos I watched shared things that are important in applications to tech companies.
Shopee Revokes Multiple Job Offers In Singapore
I would say it depends a lot on the company and recruiter. Usually if there’s a cover letter option in the job application form, you should upload one.
In my opinion, a very big red flag would be to use the same one-size-fits-all cover letter for all your job applications, with only changes made to the company name and role.
Another quick litmus test is: If you can change the company name to a competitor and the cover letter still works, it’s likely that it’s not a good cover letter.
The Data Science Interview Process At Shopee Singapore
It’s also very important to get to the point quickly. When you’re done writing, try to get someone to screen your cover letter and resume in 10-20 seconds, and ask them what they remember about you.
Can you share more about the interview process? How many rounds did you have to go through and what were some of the questions that you were asked?
: Based on Desmond’s article, he shared that he was asked to code on an IDE website while sharing his screen so that the interviewer could see him code in real-time.

Desmond shared an important tip which was to constantly communicate your thought process and keep asking yourself how you were going to solve the question.
He wasn’t sure about how Huffman Encoding worked, but the interviewer was kind enough to introduce him to how it worked. ‘Interviewers want to help you, and it’s always okay to ask for help!’ mentioned Desmond in his blog post.
Practise a lot of algorithm questions (LeetCode/HackerRank), and if you want to be more prepared, try doing mock interviews with friends — try being both the interviewer and interviewee, and give each other feedback.

Other than that, I think it’s also helpful to have a set of visual, deployed and live personal portfolio of projects to share during the interview.
The technical coding round. Like almost all technical coding interviews, there’s a time limit, and I was close to not being able to finish the second question.
I personally enjoy the feedback culture the most in Shopee. Everyone is encouraged to give and receive feedback to and from anyone in Shopee.
Why Shopee Is The Best Place To Kickstart Your Tech Career In Singapore
I also love the continuous learning culture here in Shopee. There are a lot of internal technical sharing sessions by the other teams, which I’m able to join even if it’s not directly related to my work.
This allows me to expand my breadth of technical knowledge, deepen my expertise in a particular technical expertise and field, all while working on my daily tasks.
Besides the culture, I also love that I get the opportunity to work with talent from all over Southeast Asia and the world.
