Tax technology landscape, identify systemic risks, duplication, inefficiencies, and modernization opportunities, and define practical transition paths toward the future state. * Establish and evolve architecture principles, engineering standards, documentation, and governance practices that improve quality without slowing delivery. * Drive improvements in quality, velocity, cost efficiency, scalability, and developer productivity across Tax-related systems and adjacent FinTech platforms. * Mentor and influence senior engineers, Staff engineers, and technical leads, raising engineering

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:** In Agoda’s Engineering department, we build the scalable and fault-tolerant systems. Our systems cover all major areas of our business: website, mobile apps, affiliate apis, inventory and pricing, product information, customer data, communications, partner data, booking systems, payments, finance and more. These mission-critical systems change frequently with dozens of releases per day, so we must employ state-of-the-art CI/CD, experimentation and advanced testing techniques in order to make sure everything works without any 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 React, Redux state management, Javascript, Kotlin, Scala, data technologies like Kafka, Aerospike and Big Data, and agile development practices. Most importantly though, we hire great people from all around the world and empower them to be successful. Whether it’s building new projects like Flights and Packages or innovating on the latest fintech idea or reimagining our existing business, you’ll make a big impact as part of our Engineering team. ### The Opportunity: As a Senior Engineering Manager at Agoda, you will lead multiple teams or a large engineering organization, driving technical direction, organizational scale, and business impact. Unlike the Engineering Manager role, this position focuses more on leading managers, shaping strategy, and driving cross-team execution.
