About the Team
Our Transport team is a big family of 100+ members made up of engineers and product managers spread out across Jakarta, Bangalore, and Singapore. We run Southeast Asias leading and fastest-growing ride hailing business. We oversee all things related to our riders and driver-partners needs in daily transport and work daily to create solutions to these issues. Its our job to ensure that our Transport services run seamlessly from the inside out. Most recently, our team figured out that our existing third party SDK for in-app live tracking of vehicles was not operating as smoothly as we had expected. So, guess what? We fixed this by building our own live tracking SDK - Navic. Right now, our team has been busy working on projects that aim to effectively grow our user base in the region (and beyond!).
We, the Transporters, know how to work hard and play hard. Though working from home has been a big change, it hasnt made work boring - in fact, weve been enjoying this new work set up more than we expected! When we arent busy working, youd probably find us playing online games like Among Us and Sketchful, or catching up with each other on our virtual hang outs. We work as a team to get our job done well, and genuinely enjoy each other's company.
