About Our Team

At Agoda, our Backend Engineering team builds high-scale, fault-tolerant distributed systems that power a global travel platform serving millions of users daily. We own mission-critical domains across inventory, pricing, booking, payments, and customer/partner platforms.

Our systems run with high availability, low latency, and zero-downtime expectations, powered by modern technologies such as Scala, Go, Java, Kotlin, Kafka, and Aerospike, along with strong foundations in CI/CD, automation, and observability.

We ship rapid—often dozens of releases a day—and design systems that are resilient, self-healing, and built to scale globally.

The Opportunity

As a Staff Backend Engineer, you’ll own the design and reliability of a critical service or domain end-to-end — from architecture through production. Beyond writing code, you’ll be expected to identify problems before they’re assigned to you, make independent calls on ambiguous technical trade-offs within your domain, and raise the technical bar for your immediate team.



You’ll combine hands-on coding, system design, and technical ownership — accountable for outcomes within your service, and a trusted technical voice when your work touches adjacent teams.
