Grab·Machine Learning Engineer·Technical Phone Screen

Jul 2026
Grab ML engineer round where they drop a Kaggle link and you basically run a mini competition in real time. The focus isn't really on whether your code compiles, it's more about whether you can think through the problem like an actual ML person.
  • Given a dataset of orders, how would you formulate predicting order fulfillment time as an ML problem, and what features would you engineer?
  • Which model would you choose for this regression task and why, and how would you evaluate it?

“This is where most of the conversation lived.”

Grab·Machine Learning Engineer·Onsite - Coding / Algorithms

Apr 2026
Grab ML engineer round that was basically a Kaggle problem live, which sounds stressful but the actual coding was offloaded to an AI agent so it was more about thinking out loud than typing fast. The real evaluation was on how you frame the problem, pick features, and reason about model choices.
  • Given pairs of point-of-interest records, how would you determine whether each pair refers to the same real-world location? Formulate this as an ML problem and walk through your approach end to end.
  • How would you evaluate your deduplication model, and what metrics would you prioritize?

“The setup was a Kaggle link dropped in chat and then silence.”
