About Us

Perk (formerly TravelPerk) is the intelligent platform for travel and spend management. Built to tackle the time-consuming, manual work that gets in the way of real work, our tools automate everything from travel bookings to expenses, invoice processing, and more. By eliminating this shadow work that wastes hours, erodes morale, and saps innovation, we’re on a mission to power real work, with real impact.   

We’re trusted by more than 10,000 companies worldwide, including Wise, On Running, Breitling, and Fabletics, and we’re tackling the 7 hours of lost productivity per employee each week, a $1.7 trillion problem.  

Founded in 2015, Perk has grown into a global company of more than 1,800 people across 12 offices globally, with headquarters in London and Boston. We combine innovation, control, and simplicity to transform how businesses work and how people feel at work.

At Perk, we’re driven by our values, like being an owner, delivering a 7-star experience, and working as one team. We value curiosity, purpose, and mindset, not just knowledge, to unlock the power in your potential. Our talent team brings together leading minds from travel and SaaS, representing over 70 countries. If you’re excited about having a real impact and shaping how millions of people experience work, we’d love you on the team.

🎬 Powering Real Work 

 
About our new Events product

We have kickstarted a new initiative within TravelPerk to reinvent how companies plan, book, and manage in-person events. We’re building an all-in-one platform for corporate events and group travel that removes the manual coordination and fragmented workflows event organizers face today.

After strong early traction and validation, we’re now doubling down on this opportunity. You’ll join at an exciting inflection point, helping us scale from a proven concept to a category-defining product, with full ownership over decisions that shape our roadmap and impact.

We operate as a small, autonomous team within TravelPerk, combining the agility and ownership of a startup with the global reach of a unicorn. You’ll join early and help define both the product and technology.

We’re on a mission to make organizing company events as effortless as booking a trip, and we’re looking for builders who want to make it happen.

Are you a (Senior) Software Engineer that loves taking ownership and building products end-to-end? 

We’re looking for builders — engineers who thrive in small, autonomous teams and want to own product and technical decisions from idea to launch. 

You’ll collaborate closely with design and product, define the architecture, and deliver delightful, high-impact experiences for event organizers and attendees.

You’ll work on:

  • Product development in Python/FastApi and/or React for our event and group booking platform
  • Designing and owning system architecture, integrations, and performance
  • Connecting with third-party APIs (hotels, venues, calendars, etc.)
  • Building fast, reliable user experiences that scale
  • Setting engineering best practices, ensuring code quality and testing coverage
  • Contributing to a culture of ownership, learning, and accountability

You’ll have the autonomy to make key product and technical decisions — while knowing you have the backing of TravelPerk’s world-class infrastructure and engineering culture.

What We’re Looking For:

  • "Product Engineering" mindset
  • Pragmatism and obsession for simplicity, efficiency, and performance
  • Extensive experience in similar roles building technically complex products in any web programming language
  • Obsession for quality and testing
  • Eager to learn new technologies and frameworks
  • Strong communication skills

Bonus points for:

  • Startup or early-stage experience — you’re comfortable operating with autonomy and accountability
  • Experience with Django
  • Experience in the travel or events industry
  • DevOps experience with the AWS suite

In short

If you want to build the next generation of event management software — and you’re excited to have full ownership, real accountability, and the support of one of Europe’s top tech companies — we’d love to meet you.
