## Job description

## 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:

App platform team tackles Infrastructure pain points head on. The end goal is to create a robust ecosystem that the wider mobile org can reliably build within and on top of, and members of the App platform team dedicate their time and attention entirely towards this end. Examples of this include CI/CD improvements, App architecture and core-libraries improvements, dev experience improvements, Customer experience improvements

In this role, you’ll get to:

- Design, develop, and maintain Android applications that integrate with the platform’s core services and APIs
- Partner closely with Product, Design, Backend, and Mobile engineers to define requirements, design features, and deliver cohesive user experiences
- Drive engineering best practices for testing, quality assurance, and release readiness, including automated testing strategies
- Build and evolve reusable platform components (SDKs, internal libraries, shared UI/infra patterns) to accelerate multiple product teams
- Contribute to or lead initiatives involving WebView-based architecture, including performance, security, debugging, and deep integration with native modules
- Improve developer velocity via CI/CD pipelines for mobile (build, test automation, release flows, quality gates)
- Raise reliability standards by improving observability: performance monitoring, crash analysis, app/service metrics, logging, and alerting
- Identify and implement opportunities for optimization across the technology stack, focusing on cost, efficiency, velocity, and developer happiness
- Enable cross-team collaboration on large initiatives, improving overall code quality, architecture, and platform consistency
- Provide thoughtful feedback and mentorship, fostering an inclusive engineering culture and strong engineering fundamentals
- Communicate complex technical trade-offs clearly to stakeholders across levels, including non-technical partners

What you’ll Need to Succeed:

- 12+ years of software development experience building large-scale applications; strong craft in either native app engineering (Android) or web engineering, with openness to working across both when needed
- 4+ years in a Tech Lead (or equivalent) role, owning execution and technical direction end-to-end
- Proven experience owning production systems with significant impact on design, development, deployment, monitoring, and long-term evolution
- Strong engineering leadership: mentoring senior engineers, influencing across teams, and driving alignment through clear communication
- Advanced proficiency in modern app development frameworks and architectural choices (scalable patterns, modularization, maintainability)
- Strong understanding of app development challenges and solutions: performance, stability, backwards compatibility, and security
- Expert-level knowledge of testing methodologies and best practices; ability to drive end-to-end test strategy (e.g., UI/E2E automation)
- Practical experience improving engineering throughput through CI/CD (automated builds, test pipelines, release workflows)
- Ability to use data and telemetry to guide improvements; experience with observability for app/service performance is a strong advantage
- Strong problem-solving: can do deep research, make decisions on complex projects, and balance independence with collaboration
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field

It’s great if you have:

- Experience working across both native mobile and web applications (one strong core skill is enough; openness to the other is key)
- Experience in a platform team building reusable solutions used by multiple teams/products
- Hands-on experience with WebView internals (rendering/performance/debugging, JS bridges, security, architecture decisions)
- Proficiency in writing and maintaining end-to-end tests (e.g., Espresso/UI Automator/Detox/Appium or equivalents depending on stack)
- Experience building or maintaining CI/CD for native apps (build automation, test automation, release management, feature flags)
- Experience with observability (crash analytics, performance monitoring, tracing/metrics/logging, SLO-driven improvements)
- Experience in scaled product/internet companies with high traffic, large user bases, and high transaction volume
- Experience with cross-platform technologies (React Native, WebViews, Flutter, etc.) and making pragmatic trade-off decisions

This position is based in Bangkok, Thailand (Relocation Provided)
