Get to Know the Team

When you're an engineer at Grab, you are part of the heart and soul of the company. Our passion is anchored in our work, and this is reflected in the impact we make on millions of lives daily. The ADS Technology team is responsible for the advertising business at Grab, including precision delivery and marketing. As one of the most potential departments in Grab, we provide advertising solutions using advanced technologies. We adopt a microservice architecture for backend development and utilize a variety of front-end technologies, such as iOS, Android, Flutter, and Web, to serve our end users. These users include consumers, drivers, merchants, and business partners.

Our business spans across seven countries. We aim to help companies reach their target audiences effectively and improve conversion rates through precise advertising delivery and impactful marketing strategies. We proactively generalize our microservices into platforms to enhance the speed of marketing new products. We follow an adaptive system principle, in which systems keep improving upon different feedback signals without human intervention.
