Job Description

About Wego We’re on a mission to help people discover the real value of travel — to inspire, to give more reasons, to make it easy — for you to travel. Our company was founded back in 2005, and since then, we’ve imagined and created some of the most well-loved products for travelers all around the world.
Today, Wego is the number 1 travel metasearch engine in the Middle East. There are millions of users on Wego every month — people who travel for adventure, for work, for family and for many other reasons. That’s why we work tirelessly to make your experience of planning & booking flights, hotels and trips as seamless as possible.
About the opportunity Wego’s Staff Engineers are our technical leaders, charting the right course through at least our next 3 years of growth. They bring world class technical chops and communication skills to tackle design and architectural problems spanning the company. They improve organization-wide standards around delivering software and the art of running software in production.
This position is available as an in-office arrangement in our offices in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur.
This role would be a good fit for you if you:

• Have strong frontend expertise, particularly in JavaScript-related technologies since that is what most of our current apps are built on. As a technical leader, you challenge both yourself and the frontend organization on whether our current choices will continue to make sense in the uncertain future.
• Place great value on software quality. You have experience finding optimal ways to maintain a high level of quality via automated testing and thoughtful code reviews.
• Have experience with A/B or multivariate testing tools and product analytics. At Wego, we believe in a balance between both quantitative and qualitative analysis when crafting user experiences.

• Like to reflect about how we can improve as an organization. Staff Engineers at Wego are often dissatisfied with the current state of affairs, and bring a combination of technical innovation, expertise and systems thinking to set the organization up for success several years ahead.

• Cherish clear and open communication. Staff Engineers at Wego often collaborate across multiple disciplines and differing opinions. Clear, thoughtful and empathic communication is a fundamental skill to succeed in this role.

• Provide mentorship for all engineers on your team.

• Working in a respectful culture and supportive working environment.
• Flexible working hours, 21 days annual leave. We actively discourage people from working overtime.
• Travel benefit of US$500/year.
• Wellness benefit to spend on physical and mental wellness.
