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.
About the Team
At Agoda, our Backend Engineering organization builds high-scale, fault-tolerant distributed systems that power a global travel platform serving millions of users daily. Our systems span mission-critical domains including inventory, pricing, booking, payments, and customer/partner platforms.
We operate with high availability, low latency, and zero-downtime expectations, leveraging technologies like Scala, Go, Java, Kotlin, Kafka, and Aerospike, supported by strong practices in CI/CD, automation, and observability, and engineering excellence.
We ship fast — with dozens of daily releases — and design systems that are resilient, scalable, and continuously evolving.
The Opportunity
As a Lead Backend Engineer, you will own critical systems end-to-end, drive technical direction, and lead large initiatives. You will combine architecture, execution, and technical leadership to build scalable, reliable, and high-quality solutions that power Agoda's global platform.
