Agoda is seeking an experienced Software Engineering Manager to join our Compute Platform team in Bangkok. This role focuses on scaling and evolving our Compute Platform, emphasizing inventory management, platform tooling, and lifecycle management across bare-metal infrastructure, virtual machines, and Kubernetes environments. The successful candidate will balance hands-on technical leadership with people management, guiding a cross-functional team to deliver reliable, high-quality data and tooling that support informed decision-making at scale.
Key responsibilities include contributing to system design and code, performing reviews, and providing expert technical guidance and mentorship to engineers at all levels. The role involves building, leading, and developing a cross-functional team of software and systems engineers, operating with agile delivery practices. The manager will drive the research, design, and delivery of inventory and compute platform tooling to improve visibility, efficiency, reliability, and lifecycle management. Additionally, the position requires owning and supporting design reviews within the team and across the wider engineering organization, helping shape platform standards and technical direction.
The ideal candidate will have over three years of experience as an Engineering Manager, leading, coaching, and developing engineers with varying levels of seniority. Strong hands-on coding experience in a modern programming language is essential, with a preference for Golang.

Proven experience with platform stability, resilience, and observability, along with a strong focus on testing, quality, and delivery in modern CI/CD environments, is also necessary. A data-driven, scientific approach to decision-making, particularly around platform health, delivery outcomes, and performance, is highly valued.
Agoda offers a dynamic and innovative work environment where data and technology are at the heart of our culture. Employees have the opportunity to work on mission-critical private cloud platforms with over 800,000 cores, spread over hundreds of Kubernetes clusters, OpenStack virtual machines, and bare-metal servers.
