Technical Product Manager – ML & LLM Platforms

The Opportunity
Agoda is rapidly accelerating its AI transformation. Our ambition is to make ML and LLM application development fast, scalable, reliable, and increasingly autonomous.
We are looking for a Technical Product Manager to own and evolve Agoda’s ML & LLM Ops platforms. This role will shape how teams across Agoda build, iterate, deploy, monitor, and scale machine learning and large language model applications.

You will operate at the intersection of platform engineering, applied AI teams, and emerging AI coding agents — ensuring our internal platforms are production-grade, optimized for experimentation, and increasingly native to AI-assisted development.

This is a high-impact role in a fast-moving space, where the goal is not just to support ML/LLM applications — but to enable them to be created and iterated on with increasing automation and minimal human friction.

In This Role, You’ll Get to

Define and evolve the product vision and roadmap for Agoda’s ML & LLM Ops platforms
Shape how teams productionize ML models and LLM-powered applications
Identify platform gaps, scalability constraints, and optimization opportunities
Drive the evolution of our platform to support AI-native development workflows and coding agents

Requirements & Opportunity Discovery

Gather requirements from ML engineers, data scientists, backend engineers, and AI application teams
Translate complex technical needs into clear product requirements and prioritization frameworks
Proactively identify opportunities to reduce friction, improve reliability, and increase deployment velocity
Balance experimentation flexibility with governance, safety, and cost efficiency

Execution & Delivery

Own features end-to-end: concept, specification, prioritization, implementation, and post-launch analysis
Partner closely with engineering to balance platform scalability, performance, and technical debt
Ensure platform capabilities support monitoring, evaluation, retraining, versioning, and observability of ML/LLM systems
Drive adoption through documentation, training, and internal evangelism

AI-Native Platform Evolution

Collaborate with engineering to level up Agoda’s platforms to be more compatible with AI coding assistants and autonomous agents
Ensure platform APIs, tooling, and abstractions enable meaningful AI-generated code contributions
Help define guardrails and workflows that allow safe, reliable AI-assisted development

What You’ll Need to Succeed

5+ years of experience in ML engineering, data science, platform engineering, or a related technical domain
2+ years of technical product or program management experience in fast-paced, high-scale environments
Experience working with ML Ops and/or LLM Ops concepts (model lifecycle, evaluation, monitoring, versioning, deployment pipelines)

Technical Depth

Strong understanding of ML systems and model lifecycle management
Familiarity with LLM application patterns (RAG, fine-tuning, prompt management, evaluation frameworks, etc.)
Comfortable discussing architecture, APIs, infrastructure trade-offs, and scalability concerns with senior engineers
Strong analytical mindset with the ability to reason about system design, performance, and cost trade-offs

Leadership & Mindset

Strong cross-functional leadership skills and ability to influence without authority
Comfortable operating in ambiguity and rapidly evolving technological landscapes
Excellent communication skills — able to translate between business, platform engineering, and AI application teams
Proactive, structured thinker with a strong problem-solving mindset
High ownership and bias for impact

Why This Role Is Unique

You will shape how AI is built at scale inside Agoda.
You will influence the evolution of our internal platforms toward AI-native and agent-compatible development.
You will work at the forefront of ML and LLM production systems in a rapidly changing ecosystem.
Your work will directly accelerate Agoda’s ability to deliver AI-powered experiences to millions of customers worldwide.
