Lead Machine Learning Engineer (Foundation Models)

Get to Know the Role

This is an applied research and machine learning engineering role aimed at developing foundation model solutions for Grab's massive marketplace. As a Lead Machine Learning Engineer (based onsite in our Singapore One-North headquarters, reporting to the Senior Machine Learning Engineering Manager), you will own the end-to-end lifecycle of our proprietary foundation models and generative recommenders. You will bridge the gap between modern ML research and optimised, large-scale distributed training infrastructure. You will build architectures that unify search, retrieval, and ranking to power decisions for millions of users daily.
