We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help build the services and automation behind Grab's cloud infrastructure platform.

  • Automate resource provisioning, configuration and decommissioning with least-privilege access, auditability and safe handling of retries or duplicate requests.
  • Build reusable components for AI-assisted workflows, including context retrieval, tool integration, permission checks and evaluation.
  • Assess AI models and providers for suitability, reliability, latency, cost and safety while keeping integrations portable.
  • Define tests, observability, deployment and rollback practices for the services you own.
  • Participate in Cloud Infrastructure on-call duties, investigate incidents and drive corrective actions.
  • Lead technical discussions and code reviews, mentor engineers and improve engineering standards.

Qualifications:

  • 4+ years of professional software engineering experience, including designing and operating production backend services in Go, Python or a comparable language.
  • Strong API design and failure-handling skills, with the ability to make and explain technical trade-offs.
  • Hands-on experience with AWS or Azure, Terraform or similar infrastructure-as-code tools, identity and access management, and cloud networking.
  • Experience with automated testing, Git, CI/CD, Docker, production deployments and rollback.
  • Experience building or integrating AI-assisted engineering workflows, including context management, tools, safeguards and evaluation.
  • Ability to compare AI models, verify outputs and design appropriate fallbacks for production workflows.
  • Experience debugging production systems with logs, metrics and alerts, and guiding other engineers through reviews and delivery.
