1
Hi, my name is Bruno and I work as a senior engineering manager at Agoda.
2
So my journey here started back in 2016 as a back-end engineer in tech search team.
3
And now I'm a senior engineering manager leading a few organizations like accommodation, search and pricing, as well as white labels.
4
For the role that we are heading for, it's a back-end engineer.
5
And what we're looking for is like brilliant engineers willing to
6
use technology on the deepest possible level to solve complex problems and make our organization thrive.
7
Engineers working at Agoda may expect a very dynamic and fast-paced environment.
8
So different teams have different natures of problems to solve, but you can majorly split these into like main different types.
9
You have platform teams and horizontal teams.
10
Engineers being part of platform team not only need to build scalable, highly scalable applications that can serve like a huge amount of traffic that we are exposed to,
11
but also made sure that the code is simple enough to be contributed by many horizontal teams across the company.
12
As part of a horizontal team on the other side, you don't have this in-depth exposure in terms of the scalability,
13
but you have a very broad exposure in terms of all the systems that we have in Agoda, which makes you have a very good end-to-end understanding of what we do
14
and then can contribute and create immediate impact with great features that you push to production.
15
So to put some numbers in perspective, So for price calculation system, for example, we handle 20 million price calculations every single second.
16
With such scale, you can imagine that there is no out-of-the-box solution that can be applied.
17
Even simple strategies like auto-scaling or retries or any other strategy cannot just be used out-of-the-box.
18
With this, engineers need to go to the deepest level of technology to make the right choices
19
and build an architecture that can scale for the future.
20
When I think about like the reason why I work in this company
21
and what excites me the most in the database I can think mostly about three things,
22
how diverse data-driven and technology-focused this organization is.
23
So when you think about diversity, imagine what it is to work with almost 100 different nationalities under the same roof.
24
The amount of different perspectives that all of these people bring to the problem is something that you cannot find easily somewhere.
25
Now, when it comes to data-driven technology-focused, everything here can be represented by data by data.
26
So our hypothesis, we use data to back them, as well as getting enough insights for new hypotheses to come up.
27
Which means there is no such thing as titles when it comes to give great ideas that can materialize in great features.
28
When you talk about technology focused, it's not using technology just for the sake of using it.
29
It's by using innovation and using the newest possible technologies on what the best they can serve us for.
30
If Solving complex problems and using technology on the deepest possible level is something that excites you.
31
That's just the right place for you.
32
Come join us and help us build the greatest possible experience for millions of travelers around the world.

注意したい発音
話し手はdon't, I'm, we'reなど、短縮形や弱形を3回使っています。聞こえたとおりの短い形で発音しましょう。
- 「th」の音: hypothesis /haɪˈpɒθɪsɪs/, thrive /θɹajv/
- 「sh」と「zh」の音: calculation /ˌkælkjuˈleɪʃn̩/, nationality /ˌnæʃ.əˈnæl.ɪ.ti/, accommodation /əˌkɒm.əˈdeɪ.ʃən/
- 長い単語（アクセントの位置に注意）: horizontal /ˌhoɹəˈzɑn.təl/, hypothesis /haɪˈpɒθɪsɪs/, materialize /məˈtɪɹiəlaɪz/, scalability /ˌskeɪ.ləˈbɪl.ɪ.ti/, nationality /ˌnæʃ.əˈnæl.ɪ.ti/
日本語話者が苦手な音：
- /r/ と /l/ の区別 — /l/ は舌先を歯茎につけ、/r/ はどこにもつけない: horizontal /ˌhoɹəˈzɑn.təl/, materialize /məˈtɪɹiəlaɪz/
- 子音の連続 — 間に母音を入れない: scalable /ˈskeɪ.lə.bl̩/, calculation /ˌkælkjuˈleɪʃn̩/, scalability /ˌskeɪ.ləˈbɪl.ɪ.ti/, thrive /θɹajv/, expose /ɪkˈspoʊz/

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
