Senior Engineering Manager (Bangkok based, relocation provided)

About Agoda At Agoda, we bridge the world through travel. Our story began in 2005, when two lifelong friends and entrepreneurs, driven by their passion for travel, launched Agoda to make it easier for everyone to explore the world.

Today, we are part of Booking Holdings [NASDAQ: BKNG], with a diverse team of over 7,000 people from 90 countries, working together in offices around the globe. Every day, we connect people to destinations and experiences, with our great deals across our millions of hotels and holiday properties, flights, and experiences worldwide.

No two days are the same at Agoda. Data and technology are at the heart of our culture, fueling our curiosity and innovation. If you’re ready to begin your best journey and help build travel for the world, join us.

Get to Know our Team In Agoda’s Engineering department, we build scalable and fault‑tolerant systems covering all major areas of our business: website, mobile apps, affiliate APIs, inventory and pricing, product information, customer data, communications, partner data, booking systems, payments, finance, and more.

We also ensure that our systems are self‑healing, responding gracefully to extreme loads or unexpected input. We employ languages such as React, Redux, JavaScript, Kotlin, Scala, and data technologies like Kafka, Aerospike, and Big Data, along with agile development practices. Most importantly, we hire great people from all around the world and empower them to be successful.
