This is your opportunity to be part of an exciting new team venturing into a new domain and be involved from strategy to execution. We are looking for driven, like-minded individuals who excel in an environment of rapid experimentation to join us!
In this role, you will lead the backend engineering team responsible for strengthening and scaling Grab’s trust and fraud-protection capabilities. You will help build and modernize critical services that protect Grab’s users and businesses—including its digital banking operations—as well as external partners from fraud and evolving security threats.
You will combine people leadership with strong technical involvement. You will define the technical roadmap, drive architectural direction, lead system-design and code reviews, and work closely with engineers to resolve complex technical and production challenges. When needed, you may contribute directly to selected implementations, prototypes, or critical engineering initiatives.
You will bring a strong data-driven mindset to engineering and product decisions. You should be comfortable interpreting operational, product, and fraud-related data; identifying patterns and anomalies; validating assumptions; and using evidence to prioritize investments and measure outcomes. You should have sufficient analytical experience to ask the right questions, evaluate insights critically, and partner effectively with Data Science and Analytics teams.
You will be accountable for the reliability, security, scalability, and operational health of the services under your team’s ownership. Working with Product, Business, Data Science, Operations, Risk, and domain specialists, you will translate fraud-protection needs into robust backend capabilities and ensure that solutions deliver meaningful outcomes for internal teams and external partners.
You will also support the responsible adoption of AI-assisted engineering practices where they improve development quality, productivity, or operational effectiveness
