Agoda is hiring a Backend Engineer Manager to lead one or more engineering teams within its Back End Engineering department in Bangkok, with relocation support and visa sponsorship provided. The role combines hands-on technical work—writing and reviewing code, coaching engineers, and shaping system architecture—with people leadership, including developing engineers and hiring A-players. Systems are built using Scala, Go, Kafka, and Aerospike, supporting inventory, pricing, payments, and booking flows with dozens of releases per day. The role requires strong proficiency in at least one of Java, Scala, or C#, experience designing complex scalable distributed systems, prior management of engineering teams with 5+ direct reports, and a background in agile, CI/CD-driven environments. Candidates should be comfortable making data-driven decisions, setting KPIs, and owning systems operationally.
