Full TimeLife at Grab
At Grab, every Grabber is guided by The Grab Way, which spells out our mission, how we believe we can achieve it, and our operating principles - the 4Hs: Heart, Hunger, Honour and Humility. These principles guide and help us make decisions as we work to create economic empowerment for the people of Southeast Asia.
Get to know our Team
Grab is Southeast Asia’s leading super-app. We provide everyday services such as deliveries, mobility, financial services, enterprise services and others to millions of users across the region. At the AI Automation Team, we build end-to-end automated ML/AI solutions to solve challenging problems in Grab’s marketplace. The problem space we are working on consists of adaptive experiments, embeddings, recommendations and large scale marketplace optimizations. We are looking for lead machine learning engineers to join the team to help us make that vision a reality by developing and refining cutting-edge ML and experiment platforms.
Get to know the Role
This is a hands-on role involving building large-scale machine learning, reinforcement learning and optimization solutions. You will have the opportunity to build innovative data-driven technologies to drive real-world impact in Grab’s marketplace that consists of tens of thousands of consumers, drivers and merchants.
The ideal candidate will have strong background in machine learning, reinforcement learning and optimization, good experience developing in scalable machine learning solutions to solve complex problems, solid understanding of software development life-cycle and engineering practices, experience in working on a range of regression/classification and optimization problems.
