Nearly 74% of travel is booked online, making it essential for brands operating in the travel space to deliver best-in-class travel planning solutions that constantly adapt to shifts in user behavior. The brands that partner with Rocket Travel by Agoda to power their travel solutions are supported by a global engineering team that is passionate about driving innovations in the ever-changing and dynamic travel industry. 

Brands that leverage travel to drive loyalty among their customers need support from software engineers who have dedication, deep experience in the travel loyalty space, and a continuous improvement mindset. That’s why Rocket Travel by Agoda actively searches for these qualities as we continue to build our growing engineering teams and drive the industry forward.

Our team of experienced developers works cross-functionally across the organization to support the growth of our loyalty partners and ensure customers have the utmost positive experience when earning or redeeming loyalty points or miles to book travel on one of our platforms. 

Our engineers build best-in-class travel engagement platforms and constantly identify data-driven opportunities to improve the customer experience and drive growth by:

• Collaborating with global brands to launch customized platforms that engage customers 
• Maintaining strict compliance and security standards for global brands including US-based financial institutions, airlines, and other high-profile consumer brands
• Developing new ways to engage travelers
• Launching experiments to drive growth for our partners
• Building  inclusive platforms that follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
• Maintaining seamless integrations with our partners' systems

As a global organization with software engineers working in multiple countries and time zones, Rocket Travel by Agoda has instituted global technical program management to coordinate more complex cross-time-zone projects and is able to provide technology coverage 24 hours a day. We have engineering teams in the United States, South America, Europe, and several APAC countries, collaborating to efficiently support our loyalty partners and their customers across the globe. Where feasible, we have adapted system ownership models to enable cross-hemisphere development and support, and we are also establishing global onboarding models to grow required skill sets in traditionally siloed system knowledge bases.

While communicating across global time zones can be challenging, we have leveraged our experience to develop these internal processes that ensure our teams operate effectively and collaboratively while supporting our partner's growth and adapting to any urgent issues that may arise, and we are constantly retrospecting to find more ways to help our teams balance the nuances of a global collaboration.

As a company that values collaboration and partnerships, Rocket Travel by Agoda and our engineering teams work diligently to deeply understand our partners' business needs, collaborate with them to understand how their audience is engaging with the platform, and identify opportunities to improve. This way, we ensure that our travel technology continues to evolve with the trends of the travel consumer and continually drive growth for our partners’ businesses.
