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 Back End Engineering department, we build 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 to ensure everything works without 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 C#, data technologies like Kafka and Spark, and agile development practices. Most importantly, though, we hire great people from around the world and empower them to succeed. Whether 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.

We encourage you to share your portfolios to showcase your pet project that you built during your boot camp. This role is a 6-month contract based in Bangkok, Thailand, and the candidate who succeeds will be assigned to the projects. In this role, you'll get to: - Develop and maintain high-quality software solutions in alignment with project requirements. - Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand requirements and technical designs. - Troubleshoot, debug, and upgrade existing systems. - Write clean, scalable, and efficient code. - Participate in code reviews and contribute to best practices and coding standards. - Stay up-to-date with emerging technologies and industry trends.
