Senior Data Scientist

Life at Grab

At Grab, every Grabber is guided by The Grab Way, which spells out our mission, how we believe we can achieve it, and our operating principles - the 4Hs: Heart, Hunger, Honour and Humility. These principles guide and help us make decisions as we create economic empowerment for the people of Southeast Asia.

Get to know the Team

The Data Science (Geo Vision) team at Grab focuses on improving the maps and building map-based intelligence such as localization, routing, travel time estimation, and traffic forecasting, that assist multiple Grab services like transportation, logistics, and pricing. We use Computer Vision, NLP, Information Retrieval, and Text Mining along with conventional machine learning methods on a variety of signals including images, videos, text, sensor readings, GPS probes to understand our locations and road networks. We also support the development of innovative, scalable, models through deep research and advanced analysis so that we make our products thoughtful and delight our customers.

Get to know the Role

We are looking for a Senior Data Scientist to help automate the process of map creation using data science techniques. We believe a successful candidate has very good computer vision skills and learning expertise, but if you believe you have what it takes then we'd love to hear from you either way. This role is required because of the very impacting the maps. You will be on site and you will report to the Head of Data Science based in the Cluj Office.
