## Description

Grab is Southeast Asia's leading superapp, offering various services such as food delivery, financial management, and ride-hailing.

As a Senior TechOps & Release Automation Engineer (G4), you will lead the operational health and release readiness of DevHome and related partner-facing platforms.

**Responsibilities**

- Manage end-to-end DevHome operations, partner onboarding support, and release execution from intake through post-release verification.

- Manage Android and iOS release activities, including cutoffs, submissions, phased rollouts, cherry-picks, rollback readiness, and release tracking.

- Resolve operational escalations related to partner access, login issues, onboarding blockers, scope or configuration requests, and documentation publishing flows.

- Make safe production changes across Go services, React/Docusaurus surfaces, configurations, secrets, tokens, and developer documentation.

- Maintain Terraform-managed AWS infrastructure, GitLab runners, CI/CD pipelines, and other reliability-critical operational tooling.

- Investigate and respond to production incidents using Datadog, Kibana, and system-level troubleshooting to resolve performance, latency, and partner-helping issues.

- Support infrastructure lifecycle work such as AMI rotation, EC2 and Docklet maintenance, backend scaling, and migration to MEKS.

- Develop automation, scripts, and internal tools that reduce manual effort across release management, approvals, assessment, and partner operations.

- Contribute to on-call readiness, RCA follow-ups, SOP improvements, and runbook maintenance.

- Partner with cross-functional stakeholders and external partners to unblock launches and keep platform operations moving smoothly.

**Qualifications**

- 5+ years of hands-on experience in TechOps, DevOps, SRE, release engineering, platform support, or similar operational engineering roles.

- Go (Golang) skills, with the ability to safely navigate and modify a large shared monorepo.

- Comfortable working across both application and operations layers, including code, infrastructure, CI/CD, secrets, documentation, and production troubleshooting.

- Experience with release operations, production change management, feature rollouts and mobile app releases.

- Troubleshooting judgment, with the ability to assess growth, identify root causes, and lead issues through to resolution independently.

- Working knowledge of GitLab, Jira, Confluence, and Slack.

- Hands-on experience with Terraform and AWS, including practical knowledge of Route53, Security Groups, runners, compute lifecycle management, and safe infrastructure changes.

- Working knowledge of Kubernetes/EKS, with experience in Helm charts, service-mesh-style networking, namespaces, staged migrations, or MEKS/Kubernetes migration work.

- Trigger, debug, and maintain CI/CD pipelines, including GitLab pipeline troubleshooting, release automation, and deployment workflows such as Conveyor or similar tools.

- Experience with OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect (OIDC), token flows, HMAC, and secret management, especially for partner-facing API platforms.

- Experience with HashiCorp Vault or equivalent secret and token management systems.

- Familiarity with React and Docusaurus to maintain partner portal UI and developer documentation workflows, even if your core strength is in backend or operations engineering.

- Experience investigating operational issues using Datadog, Kibana, logs, and production telemetry.

- Experience building internal admin tools, workflow automation, approval systems, Slack bots, or similar operational tooling.

- Partner management skills and empathy, with the ability to bridge engineering systems and operational needs across BD, Legal, Ops, partner engineering teams, and external developer contacts.

- Experience supporting external-facing partner or developer platforms, including canary or phased rollouts, production hardening, post-mortems, runbook creation, or mentoring team members.

**Benefits**

- Term Life Insurance and comprehensive Medical Insurance.

- GrabFlex to create a benefits package that suits your needs and aspirations.
