The Opportunity

About Agoda 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: The Infrastructure Team operates all networks, servers, and storage platforms used to deliver services to Agoda’s customers. We support every product within the company, working with a wide range of systems and technology stacks. As part of our team, you will be working on a mission critical private cloud with over 800k cores, spread over hundreds of Kubernetes clusters, OpenStack virtual machines and bare metal servers.

Each of these opportunities - coupled with an open work environment - are a great way to gain experience on a modern and dynamic platform, constantly evolving to adapt to changes in the business landscape.

The Opportunity: Our Compute Platform team in Bangkok is looking for an experienced Engineering Manager to help scale and evolve our Compute Platform, with a strong focus on inventory, platform tooling, and lifecycle management across bare‑metal infrastructure, virtual machines, and Kubernetes.

You’ll balance hands‑on technical leadership with people leadership, guiding a small, cross‑functional team while ensuring our platform delivers reliable, high‑quality data and tooling that supports informed decision‑making at scale.

In This Role, You Will:

Stay hands‑on by contributing to system design and code, performing reviews, and providing expert technical guidance and mentorship to engineers at all levels, including interns and junior contractors.
Build, lead, and develop a cross‑functional team of software and systems engineers, supported by contractors and interns, operating with agile delivery practices.
Drive the research, design, and delivery of inventory and compute platform tooling that improves visibility, efficiency, reliability, and lifecycle management.
Own and support design reviews within the team and across the wider engineering organization, helping shape platform standards and technical direction.
Own the roadmap, and be accountable for delivery, reliability, and operational outcomes
Foster a culture of operational excellence, engineering quality, and continuous improvement.
Continuously learn and explore emerging technologies, proactively sharing knowledge and raising the technical bar across teams.

What You’ll Need to Succeed:

3+ years of experience as an Engineering Manager, leading, coaching, and developing engineers with a mix of seniority and experience levels.
Strong hands‑on coding experience in a modern programming language; Golang is preferred as it is our primary language.
Experience building or supporting platform tooling for large‑scale compute or infrastructure environments, with an understanding of Kubernetes, OpenStack, virtual machines, and containers.
Proven experience with platform stability, resilience, and observability.
A strong focus on testing, quality, and delivery, with experience in modern CI/CD environments.
A data‑driven, scientific approach to decision‑making, particularly around platform health, delivery outcomes, and performance.
Comfort operating with high autonomy at the team level, including setting OKRs/KPIs, prioritizing work, and taking clear ownership.
Experience leading Agile/Scrum teams with multiple direct reports.
Demonstrated experience using Generative AI tools in day‑to‑day engineering and management workflows (e.g. coding, design, documentation, analysis).
Self‑motivated, approachable, and adaptable, with strong communication skills; English is the working language.

It’s Great if you Have:

Experience designing or building asset and inventory management systems at scale.
Hands‑on experience with configuration management and automation tools, preferably Ansible and/or AWX.
Solid understanding of networking fundamentals and protocols in large‑scale infrastructure environments.
Ability to communicate and collaborate effectively across teams and levels within a large organization.
Experience using, maintaining, or contributing to open‑source projects.
Experience integrating GenAI capabilities into platforms, such as MCP‑based or similar GenAI tooling.
