Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of Agoda as an employer.

What you need

  • Strong DS fundamentals: Modeling, statistics, experimentation and causal inference.
  • Hands-on experience building LLM systems: RAG, tool use, agent orchestration, context and memory, with an evaluation-first approach.
  • Problem-solving mindset: Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with comfort operating in open-ended problem spaces where requirements evolve.
  • Deep LLM experience is valuable: but exceptional DS/ML depth, strong product judgment, and the ability to ramp quickly are equally important.

Nice to have

  • Experience in online travel, e-commerce, search, ranking, recommendations, pricing, or personalization.
  • Experience with production LLM or generative-AI systems.
  • Advanced degree in Computer Science, Statistics, Operations Research, Mathematics, or a related field.

Worth weighing

  • No salary listed.
  • The role involves high ownership and impact, which may lead to significant responsibilities and expectations.
  • The position requires working in a dynamic environment where requirements may evolve, which could be challenging for some candidates.
