We're excited to share the publication of our paper GrabShare: The Construction of a Realtime Ridesharing Service, which was Grab's contribution to the Intelligent Transportation Engineering Conference in Singapore last month.

Disrupt or be disrupted - that was exactly the spirit in which the Growth Hacking team was created this year. This was a deliberate decision to nurture our scrappy DNA, and ensure that we had a dedicated space to experiment and enable intelligent risk-taking.

Launching GrabShare was no easy feat. After reviewing the academic literature, we decided to take a different approach and build a new matching algorithm from the ground up.

Hiring the first five good engineers in your team requires a different approach to hiring the first twenty good engineers. The approach to designing this process will be even more different, when you want to hire to scale up to a 100 Engineers... or even to 300.

At Grab we take pride in creating solutions that impact millions of people in Southeast Asia and as they say, with great power comes great responsibility. As an app with 55 million downloads and 1.2 million drivers, it's our responsibility to keep our systems up-and-running. Any downtime causes drivers to miss earning and passengers to miss their appointments.

If you are in a fast growing tech startup, you're probably actively interviewing and hiring engineers to scale teams. My question to you is, what hiring strategy are you using when interviewing engineering warriors?

For the longest time, security has been at the center of our priorities. There’s nothing more self-evident about the trust our millions of driving partners and consumers put in Grab. We strive every day to build the best tools available to ensure their data stays secure.

Caching is arguably the most important and widely used technique in computer industry, from CPU to Facebook live videos, cache is everywhere.
