Description

*This is an in-office role out of our office in Bangkok, Thailand. Who are we looking for? Are you an A-player engineer? Are you at the top of your game and looking for a real challenge? Looking for something different from the usual engineering roles out there? Are you the person your peers seek out when seeking help on problems? Do you approach all of your work with a unique sense of drive and ownership? If the answer to these questions is a resounding “YES!”, keep reading: we may have that opportunity you are looking for. SmarterTravel is creating a new set of teams. These teams are going to embody everything, both culturally and technologically, that a modern high-scale, high-autonomy Internet-scale company does. The recent investments at SmarterTravel.com as well as the ambitious goals set for the next couple of years mean that we need both world-class processes and employees. We are due to continue to grow rapidly and to meet that growth we must have world-class systems, world-class processes and world-class execution. Tall order. And as such, to meet that tall order (and we will), we must have a healthy number of world-class engineers who want to reach that next level. Reach it with us. Profile of Successful Candidates * Self-driven * Inspired by technology * History of success and ownership * Eager to work with a number of technologies Technical Experience (Required to have some of these, not all) * Server-side languages * Web technologies * Data * DevOps * Architecture What are our principles? Scalability. Scalability. Scalability. And ownership. We are a fast-growing modern Internet company. This means everything we do is tied to scalability. Scalability of our systems, architectures, our people, our processes: literally everything we do must be considered in terms of “Does it scale?”. Our engineers operate with autonomy. A bottom-up, self-managed, autonomous culture where engineers not only get to truly own their systems but it is a basic expectation of all involved. Naturally the systems we create are a key part of any engineering role. Simply, all systems we own must be scalable, fast, and reliable. We design our systems such that they are fault-tolerant, that a single hardware failure does not mean a reduction in service. We promote visibility within the applications through tracing, metrics, and logging, or indeed whichever datasets our engineers seek to create so they can own their systems. We give our engineers the accountability and responsibility to make those architectural decisions for the benefit of the system. Who are we? As a fast-growing but young company, we are in an exciting period of the company’s life where how effective we are in building our products and systems is going to be deterministic of how globally successful we are. The team in Thailand is a specialist team of high-end, skilled engineers who have experience in rolling out world-class systems. The challenge is getting the organization to where it needs to be, we are looking for those engineers who will accept and win at this challenge! Our success could determine the company's outlook for years to come. Who are you? Stackoverflow.com used to call the new breed of engineers the “10x engineer”. Then the term evolved and took into consideration the proliferation of technologies in the last decade and the likelihood of any one person being an expert in all of them. The term they, which we now use, is the “2020 engineer”. If you are such an individual you know largely what is meant by this term. Technically, since anyone we hire for this role will be confident in learning the technologies they need to learn. Successful candidates will be comfortable with working with data. Whether that be SQL databases or large cassandra clusters, or a hadoop cluster crunching petabytes of data a day. Let’s Talk The truth is that there are equally few organizations that are dedicated to doing things the right way, as there are engineers who demonstrate the required skills and ownership and truly want to do things the right way. If you think you have the skills, the attitude, the ownership, the desire to be one of the most significant members of our new look and new culture, get in touch. Location: Bangkok, Thailand
