Development Manager - Back End Scala Team, global eCommerce Travel leader, relocate to Bangkok

Overview:

Are you looking for challenges in building a very large scale system, say millions updates a day? We are looking for top notch development managers to lead the development team of our client's hotel inventory system, to manage rates and allotments of rooms from hotels from all over the world. The system consists of both responsive web applications, APIs that hundreds of thousands of partners use to connect their inventory with the business, and background processing that keeps everything running across multiple data centers. Since this is the fasted growing online travel agency, there are millions of inventory updates coming through this connectivity API every single day. And yet, they still manage to have the information reflected on their web site in almost real time.

Our ideal candidates are experienced agile development managers who master technology to the point where you can make a trade off and decide when to use which technology, and push our platform forward. At the same time, also have solid agile experience to deliver at rapid pace. If your career has begrudgingly moved you somewhat away from coding because you spend more and more time managing a team but you are so technology focused that you continue with IT hobby interests and technology still holds its fascination for you then you will fit in very well here.

Responsibilities:

• Lead team of at 6 - 12 energetic developers
• Drive design and architecture of the system
• Create a robust, scalable and blazing-fast API.
• Drive the execution of the team toward the vision. Visionary and pragmatic.
• Grow and coach team members. Always challenge team to be higher performer.
• Work closely with product owner to provide technical direction

Requirements:

• ​2+ years of hands on development in Scala
• At least 1 year experience in a leadership/influencer position: team lead, development manager or architect.

Nice to have:

• Additional backend web development technologies (E.g.: Python, Java)​
• Experience with data engineering (E.g.: Spark, Hadoop)
• Relational database (E.g.: SQL Server, Oracle)
• NoSQL database technologies (E.g.: Cassandra, Couchbase)
