About the Role
We are looking for a motivated Software Engineering Intern to join a business-critical engineering team responsible for building and maintaining internal tools, automation platforms, and workflow systems used daily across Agoda.
This role focuses on solving real-world operational problems, improving engineering productivity, and automating business processes that directly impact how teams work at scale. While the team leverages modern technologies—including AI where it makes sense—the primary focus is on robust software engineering, system integration, and practical problem-solving within a production environment.
As an intern, you will work closely with experienced engineers on real deliverables that ship to internal users, not side projects or prototypes.What You’ll Do
