## Description

Get to Know the Team We are hiring a Head of Engineering to lead Grab's Mobile Frameworks, Backend Frameworks, and Build & Test Infrastructure (CI) domain. You will own the developer-facing foundations that shape how hundreds of engineers write, build, test, and evolve software across Grab's mobile and backend systems. The scope includes: Backend frameworks used across ~500 Go-based microservices (gRPC, Kubernetes) Native mobile frameworks for large-scale iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin) applications Build and test infrastructure (CI) allowing fast feedback and strong testing hygiene A core mandate is to align these foundations with emerging trends in agentic and AI-assisted software development, while ensuring they deliver real productivity gains in large, brownfield codebases — not just greenfield experiments.
