AGODA HIRING: Development Manager, Back End - Bangkok at Big Wednesday Digital (Bangkok, Thailand)

Overview:

Are you looking for challenges in building a very large scale system, say millions updates a day? We are looking for top notch development managers to lead the development team of our hotel inventory system, that manage rates and allotments of rooms from hotels from all over the world. The system consists of both responsive web applications, API that hundreds of thousands of partners use to connect their inventory with Agoda, and background processing that keeps everything running across multiple data centres. Since Agoda is the fasted growing online travel agency, there are millions of inventory updates coming through this connectivity API every single day. And yet, we still manage to have the information reflected on web site in almost real time.

Our ideal candidates are experience agile development managers who master technology to the point where you can make a trade off and decide when to use which technology, and push our platform forward. At the same time, also have solid agile experience to deliver at rapid pace. If your career has begrudgingly moved you somewhat away from coding because you spend more and more time managing a team but you are so technology focused that you continue with IT hobby interests and technology still holds its fascination for you then you will fit in very well here.
