Agoda Backend Engineer interview experience

Posted Jan 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

For the Senior Software Engineer (backend SSE) track, the process was only two technical rounds.

The first round was DSA with two questions, aimed at fundamentals at an easy-to-medium level. The second round moved into a more implementation-focused LLD vibe—improving an already existing system and doing a code review.

I remember the recruiter messaging that the backend platform round could blend elements of system design and low-level design, so I was expecting a mix, but the actual second stage felt clearly centered on revisiting a system and making targeted changes, plus discussing a code review scenario.

I didn’t clear that second round, so the process ended there without an offer.
