Description
As a Lead Platform Engineer, you will lead the design, evolution, and operation of Grab's stream processing platform, with Apache Flink as a core compute engine.
You will drive medium to large projects across Data Engineering Platforms, mentor senior engineers, and be a technical go-to person for platform architecture, reliability, and production operations.
Responsibilities:
- Lead platform work that makes stream processing easy, reliable, efficient, and secure across Grab through self-serve capabilities built into the platform.
- Design and build abstractions, modules, and libraries that lower the barrier to adopting Flink and reduce operational and security toil for users.
- Improve automation and self-service workflows that allow a small platform team to support many production Flink pipelines at scale.
- Drive technical design discussions, production readiness reviews, incident learning, and long-term architecture improvements.
- Partner with Kafka, data lake, metrics, and data governance platform teams to make real-time data pipelines reliable across the broader Grab data ecosystem.
- Mentor engineers through design reviews, debugging sessions, code reviews, and operational best practices.
Qualifications:
- Minimum of 5 years leading teams or projects in software engineering, data engineering, or platform engineering disciplines.
- Experience building and operating stream processing pipelines in production with Apache Flink or Spark Streaming.
- Hands-on engineering experience with Kafka and modern programming languages such as Scala or Java.
- Solid fundamentals in distributed systems, scalable data processing, reliability engineering, and production operations.
- Leading technical design, mentor engineers, communicate trade-offs, and lead projects from design to production.
Benefits:
- Term Life Insurance and comprehensive Medical Insurance.
- GrabFlex, create a benefits package that suits your needs and aspirations.
- Celebrate moments that matter in life with loved ones through Parental and Birthday leave, and give back to your communities through Love-all-Serve-all (LASA) volunteering leave.
