Description
Grab is Southeast Asia's leading superapp, offering various services such as food delivery, financial management, and ride-hailing.
We are looking for a DevOps Engineer to own the engineering environments our robotics team builds on , cloud, developer workstations, and the robots themselves.
Responsibilities:
- Own and evolve developer environment tooling across Ubuntu, macOS and Windows , reproducible, declarative and version-controlled setups rather than wiki instructions.
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for cloud services, backend systems and cross-compiled embedded/robot software, including ARM64 targets.
- Own container image and artifact strategy: registries, base images, caching, provenance and promotion between environments.
- Manage the on-robot software environment: OS images, system packages, dependency pinning, and safe rollout and rollback of host-level changes.
- Build and operate cloud environments and Infrastructure as Code across regions, including networking, identity and access management.
- Standardize and unify toolchains and environments across our engineering sites, while respecting the constraints that genuinely differ between regions.
- Evaluate, specify and support developer and compute hardware , workstations, GPUs, test rigs and onboard compute , and own the lifecycle around it.
- Automate what is currently manual: provisioning, onboarding, credential rotation, environment refreshes and routine operational tasks.
- Improve build and test speed, and treat engineer wait time as a first-class metric.
- Write and maintain runbooks and internal documentation, and coach engineers so that platform knowledge is shared rather than concentrated.
Qualifications:
- Deep Linux (Ubuntu) systems knowledge: packaging, systemd, networking, storage, and troubleshooting from kernel to userspace.
- Practical experience managing macOS and Windows developer environments alongside Linux.
- Configuration management and reproducible environments (Ansible, Nix, Chef/Puppet, devcontainers or equivalent).
- Strong CI/CD engineering with GitLab CI, Jenkins, GitHub Actions or similar, including cross-compilation and multi-architecture builds.
- Docker and Kubernetes in production, plus artifact and registry management (Artifactory, Harbor or equivalent).
- Cloud engineering on Alibaba Cloud (Aliyun) and/or AWS with Terraform as the primary IaC tool.
- Strong scripting and automation skills in Python and Bash; Go is a plus.
- Solid networking and security fundamentals: VPNs and overlay networks, DNS, TLS/PKI, IAM and secret management.
- Experience supporting build systems for compiled software (CMake, Bazel, colcon or similar).
- Comfortable being on-call and supporting engineers and field sites across time zones.
