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

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.

bring A-players such as yourself from outside and integrating them into the business will also be important.
