Singapore PLT Engineering Full time $104,000 - $130,878 per year

Get to Know the Team

At Grab Financial Group (GFin), we're building the future of payments in Southeast Asia. As Head of Payments Engineering, you will lead the end-to-end engineering organisation powering all payment experiences across the Grab ecosystem – from in-app wallet transactions and online checkouts, to in-store POS payments and acquiring services for merchants. This is a director-level role with a remit that spans both strategic direction and deep technical leadership.

Get to Know the Role

You will lead a large, distributed engineering team of 200+ experienced individuals across multiple countries, responsible for designing, building, and operating a full-stack payments platform at massive scale. Our solutions are mission-critical, operating 24/7 in some of the most dynamic and diverse markets in the world. Reliability, security, compliance, and speed are not optional – they are the baseline.

You will report to the Head of Engineering, GrabFin and work onsite at Grab Office.

The Critical Tasks You Will Perform

In close partnership with product, business, and compliance leaders, you will co-own the strategy and roadmap, driving innovation, operational excellence, and platform efficiency. You will champion "platformization" – creating reusable, scalable capabilities that serve multiple markets and products – while pushing for growth, product excellence, and the use of AI-driven solutions to transform our offerings.

You will set the bar high for engineering culture, fostering ownership, skillfulness, and continuous improvement. This means inspiring your leaders, growing future talent, refining processes, and ensuring our technology choices position us ahead of the curve.

If you thrive in high-growth environments, love the challenge of building world-class systems at scale, and can bridge the gap between long-term vision and hands-on execution, this is your opportunity to shape the payments landscape for millions of users across Southeast Asia.
