Get to Know our Team

Responsibilities

It’s vital to have a love of engineering and a passion for building things. As a development manager, you will be responsible for working together with product managers, shape and execute project, lead technical decisions, guide and review the development team’s work, and at times get more hands‑on.

A big part of this role will be to work closely with our central mobile platform team, ensuring your team adopts the latest platform features they develop. You will be responsible for creating and driving a roadmap for continuous code cleanup and defining a robust testing strategy to ensure the highest quality of delivery. This position requires you to expertly balance two key functions : acting as the technical product manager for the team to define ‘what’ and ‘why’, and as the project manager for feature development across this large, critical area to drive ‘how’ and ‘when’.

We strongly believe in a full‑stack approach in engineering teams, as such you’ll not only have a direct impact on the design of native client‑side applications (iOS and Android), but you will also be able to drive further adoption of cross‑platform technologies, and gain exposure to. You will also play a crucial role in coordinating with other stakeholders, as well as reporting to senior leadership, and help make strategic decisions which will take the company to the next level.

As a technology company, we keep up with the latest ideas and innovations and make key decisions on when to adopt, when to follow and when to innovate. Previous experience of making the right choices will be required as you will be responsible for the technical direction of our fastest growing asset : the Agoda mobile app. As such, you’ll be expected to stay in touch with where the latest industry trends, and have strong opinions about how systems should be engineered, evolved, and maintained.

Despite our investment and belief in technology, people are still our greatest asset. The right candidate will have a keen interest in developing people : inspiring those around them so they can achieve their potential. Being able to recruit other A‑players and integrating them into the business will also be important.
