Travel search site Wego is launching a new social media and mobile technology development centre in the Indonesian capital, Jakarta.
The Wego team expected to grow to 50 staff operating out of new custom-built offices in the Kuningan area of the city. Wego said it intends to turns Jakarta into its ‘Centre of Excellence’ for social media and mobile product development, offering an “open-plan creative space” for its development team.
“Indonesia is a market of high strategic importance to Wego, where we have been investing and seeing great results, but it also serves as a base from which we can produce innovative work in mobile and social media,” said Ross Veitch, Wego co-founder and CEO. “The landscape, the talent available and the proximity to Wego’s global headquarters in Singapore make Jakarta the ideal location for this focused development activity,” he added.
The company said it is now looking for a mobile product manager to work with the marketing, design and development groups in both Jakarta and Singapore.
