About this role
Get to Know the Team
GrabX is the centralized platform for managing product configurations and running experiments at Grab. It allows users to control how products behave for different users, regions, and conditions without the need for code deployments. This flexibility ensures that product teams can iterate quickly and safely on configurations, enhancing the overall user experience. The platform is designed to accelerate Grab's product rollout velocity while maintaining positive benefits for consumers and ensuring that business performance remains unaffected. By decoupling configuration from code, GrabX empowers teams to make data-driven decisions and optimize product impacts through controlled experiments.
