Sea

Sea runs three massive platforms: Garena (gaming), Shopee (e-commerce), and Monee (financial services). They're deeply rooted in Southeast Asia, solving real problems at scale for millions of users. Their mission is straightforward—better the lives of consumers and small businesses with technology.

What makes Sea compelling for AI and data professionals is their serious commitment to AI innovation. They've partnered with OpenAI to drive AI adoption across Southeast Asia and Brazil, launching hackathons with 144+ developers at a time in Singapore and expanding ChatGPT access to Shopee users and sellers. They're actively investing in AI-powered e-commerce, which means real data problems, real scale, and real impact.

They're based in Singapore (HQ at Fusionopolis Place) with strong operations across Malaysia and the region. If you care about working on AI that moves the needle in Southeast Asia—whether it's recommendation systems, marketplace intelligence, or financial inclusion tech—Sea is where that happens. They hire passionate people who want to make a real impact, not just build features.
