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.

Design, build, and operate backend services and data pipelines that support performance marketing use cases, including hotel feeds, ad platform integrations, and experiment data
Contribute to technical design discussions and drive implementation of production systems running at scale
Take part in the full development lifecycle: design, implementation, testing, deployment, and production support
Proactively identify and improve system reliability, scalability, data quality, and operational efficiency

5 Write clear, maintainable code and actively participate in code reviews and technical discussions

Collaborate with Product, Marketing, and other Engineering teams to clarify requirements and deliver effective solutions
Support and improve the team's engineering standards, including CI/CD, monitoring, and documentation
Make technical trade-offs across performance, quality, and cost
Participate in hiring, onboarding, and knowledge sharing, in line with your experience and interests

Experience working in Agile, cross-functional teams
Strong English communication skills, written and verbal

Experience integrating with external APIs or third-party platforms at scale (e.g. Google Ads, Meta), with familiarity in advertising, marketing, or experimentation systems
Experience identifying, monitoring, and addressing data quality risks in production, supported by observability and monitoring tooling (e.g. Grafana, Prometheus)
