Get to Know our Team : In Agoda's Back End Engineering department, we build the scalable, fault-tolerant systems and APIs that host our core business logic. Our systems cover all major areas of our business : inventory and pricing, product information, customer data, communications, partner data, booking systems, payments, and more. These mission-critical systems change frequently with dozens of releases per day, so we must employ state-of-the-art CI / CD and testing techniques in order to make sure everything works without any downtime. We also ensure that our systems are self-healing, responding gracefully to extreme loads or unexpected input. In order to accomplish this, we use state-of-the-art languages like Scala and Go, data technologies like Kafka and Aerospike, and agile development practices. Most importantly though, we hire great people from all around the world and empower them to be successful. Whether it's building new projects like Flights and Packages or reimagining our existing business, you'll make a big impact as part of the Back End Engineering team.

The Opportunity : The Engineering Manager role at Agoda is one of the most significant and challenging roles at the company. The right candidate is both extremely hands on – technically excellent, with solid engineering principles – and exhibits strong leadership and people development skills. We are looking for world class development managers to lead one or more of our engineering teams.

Responsibilities

• Be hands on - its one of the job's fundamental task, and most of our development managers are writing and reviewing code, giving expert level coaching and guidance to their engineers.
• Love of engineering and a passion for building things elegantly and at scale. Stay in touch with where the industry is going and have strong opinions about how systems should be architected, engineered, and maintained.
• Do full stack engineering : solid experience in infrastructure, client side, back end, performance, data, and other areas.
• Developing people : inspire those around them to achieve their potential; integrate A-players from outside into the business.
