Description

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.

You will own end-to-end LLM systems, designing, building, and evolving them to enable users to seamlessly book flights, hotels, and activities in an all-in-one experience. You will have real ownership over how the system is designed, built, and evolved, with the freedom to make meaningful technical and product decisions from day one.

Responsibilities:

  • Own end-to-end LLM systems: Design, build, and own LLM-based systems, from understanding user intent to planning multi-step trips and invoking internal systems to search, price, and book.
  • Turn ambiguity into production solutions: Translate open-ended product problems into concrete ML and LLM designs, balancing quality, latency, cost, and reliability in a real-world environment.
  • Drive cross-functional decisions: Partner closely with product, engineering, and leadership to make informed trade-offs that directly shape the product and user experience.
  • Iterate with real-world feedback: Ship quickly, learn from production usage, and continuously improve system behavior at scale.

Requirements:

  • Technical depth: Strong hands-on Data Science experience, including modeling, feature engineering, statistics, and experimentation.
  • LLM systems and evaluation: Experience building and operating production LLM systems (e.g., RAG, tool/agent orchestration, context and memory management), with a strong focus on evaluation, testing, and iteration , or the ability to ramp up quickly in parts of this space.
  • Problem-solving mindset: Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with comfort operating in open-ended problem spaces where requirements evolve.

Benefits:

  • Meaningful user impact: Help millions of travelers make better, more confident decisions for trips that matter to them.
  • High ownership, high impact: Your work will directly shape a system used in real booking decisions , not demos or prototypes.
  • Direct influence: Play a key role in both implementation and product direction.
  • Competitive compensation: Flexible leveling with compensation aligned to experience and impact.
