Get to Know the Team
We drive technical learning at Grab. Grab's Builders (and increasingly the agents working with them) build in a technical ecosystem that is complex and everchanging. Our purpose is to make this ecosystem easier to understand and manage.
Get to Know the Role
We're looking for a Developer Education Specialist to join our Tech Learning team in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia.

with platform teams, and make sure documentation is complete, current, and actually usable.
