Get to Know our Team:

We’re a team of engineers focused on making it easier for Agoda’s developers to build, deploy, and operate software at scale.

Lead hands-on software development across design, coding, testing, deployment, and operations.

Design and build services, APIs, developer platforms, and internal tools that improve engineering productivity.

Stay close to the code through implementation, code reviews, and architectural decisions.

Build and scale CI/CD and security automation across approximately 1 million pipelines per month.

Own and evolve core developer systems, including source control, CI, service discovery, and deployment platforms.

Apply software engineering principles to solve infrastructure and delivery challenges, building reliable, scalable, and maintainable solutions.

Solid software engineering fundamentals, including system design, maintainability, automated testing, and code reviews.

Practical experience with CI/CD, containerisation, and cloud-native practices, using technologies such as Git, Docker, and Kubernetes.

The ability to make autonomous, data-driven decisions and take ownership of outcomes.

Experience managing Agile or Scrum teams effectively.

It’s great if you have:

Built developer platforms or engineering productivity tools.

Developed full-stack applications using React.js and Go.

Worked with Kubernetes, Ansible, Consul, or Vault.

Used SQL and NoSQL databases, such as PostgreSQL or Elasticsearch.
