Full description
Get to Know the Team
The Streaming Data team (aka "Coban") strives to enable seamless and secure real-time access to the continuous events or "streams", serving as Grab's unified, common access pattern for real-time data. We build the platform for writing, consuming, enriching and retrieving real-time data, and provide a cost-effective, fully managed "NoOps" service for all product teams to leverage.
Get to know the team
The functional areas this team covers are streaming (Kafka/AutoMQ), in-house streaming SDK, stream processing framework (Flink, Flink SQL, Kafka Connect), Change Data Capture, stream exploration (Zeppelin, Flink SQL Gateway), as well as an in-house control plane for tenancy and resource management.
Our customers are engineers, analysts, and data scientists at Grab (across all verticals like Transport, Deliveries, Geo, Ads, and various Fintech verticals), who leverage realtime data for state machines, pub/sub architectures, insights and reporting, forecasting and anomaly detection, as well as online feature engineering. The team is responsible for mission critical systems and clusters that ingest and process 10s of TB of data every hour and make streaming data simple, convenient and reliabily for engineers across Grab to use.
Get to Know the Role
Senior Engineers are expected to be significant and autonomous contributors to their team, trusted with designing, shipping, operating and monitoring software systems in a consistently high-quality manner. You would work on the Golang components of the team, such as our in-house streaming SDK, control planes, etc , considering the appropriate architectural patterns, code design, and infrastructure options, ensuring that you deliver a secure, reliable, testable, maintainable, extensible, and well-tested system.
You will report to the Engineering Manager II and will work onsite at CMC Creative Space, Tan Hung ward, HCMC
The Critical Tasks You Will Perform
- Work with a team of cross functional engineers to make Data Streaming and Stream Processing easy and reliably across Grab, primarily via self-served capabilities baked in our control plane and streaming SDK.
- Write go code that is well tested across the test pyramid/trophy (unit, integration, end-to-end) and can be maintained by a cross functional team.
- Implement and drive large-scale technical initiatives, ensuring seamless platform evolution across the organization
- Weigh in on design questions around platformization, infrastructure, observability and security, and work closely with (and build over the platforms provided by) our infrastructure team.
- Participate in and evolve on-call and incident response procedures for the team.
