Lazada eLogistics | Global Head of Data | Full Time | Singapore | ONSITE | VISA

Summary: We are an e-commerce conglomerate, part of Alibaba. You will take ownership, train and grow the data engineering and statistical learning ("data science") team of the largest e-logistics company in South East Asia.

Likely useful experience:

  - Software development (aside from building actual software, you'll need to read a lot of code to understand systems whose logic is not at database level).

  - A mathematical bend, including awareness of and respect for the ideas behind the relational model ("predicate logic on sets") as defined by Edgar Codd and Chris Date, and rich data types. If you see a foreign key as a mathematical domain and think in terms of relation values and variables, we are probably on the same page.

  - Knowing your way around PostgreSQL, or failing that any large scale RDBMS deployment; there are infrastructure teams and DBAs but they need your guidance.

  - At least some enjoyment of the resolution of large, complex problems using more abstract methods as opposed to quick hacks and duct tape. 

  - UNIX/Linux, but if you've read that far you probably have more than enough experience.

  - Speaking Chinese (Mandarin) may help a bit but the team has multiple native speakers.

Interview process:

  - Email vanessa.tan@lazada.com to be sent a few quick questions. Include "6h9mYszLTq2Y" in the subject line so we know you're not a bot.

  - An hour or two over Skype for probing your technical experience.

  - An hour or two in Singapore (if you are there) or over Skype for the C-levels to figure out if they can work with you.
