About Us

TravelPerk is a global travel and expense management platform. Its all-in-one platform gives travelers the freedom they want whilst providing companies with the control they need. The result saves time, money, and hassle for everyone.

TravelPerk has industry-leading travel inventory alongside powerful management features, 24/7 customer support, state-of-the-art technology, and consumer-grade design.

Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Barcelona, we’ve grown to over 1,800 people across Europe and North America. In 2022 we became a ‘unicorn’ and in 2025, we raised Series E funding at $2.7 billion valuation, alongside our acquisition of Yokoy, to become the leader in integrated travel and expense management.

We’ve been winning awards too. Since 2023, we’ve been voted one of the best places to work, one of the fastest-growing apps and tech companies, and a leading pioneer of business travel.

These are just some of the reasons why global brands like Wise, Red Bull, GetYourGuide, and Aesop trust us to get the most out of their travel.

Hear more about TravelPerk. 

Are you a Senior Software Engineer with extensive programming experience? 

Events is 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.

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

In Events, 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.

Required skills and experience:

  • "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
  • An expert level at server-sideclient-side or full stack development. Your final role within the team will depend on your skills and internal training will be provided
  • 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 in the travel or events industry
  • DevOps experience with the AWS suite
  • Experience working with high-performing, Agile development teams
  • People who like to build stuff (we really like people who maintain/contribute to open source projects)
  • Experience using AI coding tools during development process, such as copilot, cline or similar
  • Experience building AI backed product features using AWS, GCP or OpenAI platform
What do we offer?
  • 💰 A competitive compensation package, including equity in TravelPerk;
  • 🌴 Generous vacation days so you can rest and recharge;
  • 💊 Health perks such as private healthcare or gym allowance, depending on your location;
  • 🥳 Unforgettable TravelPerk events;
  • 💙 A mental health support tool for your wellbeing;
  • 💡Family services that include adoption benefits and equal paid parental leave; 
  • 📒 Exponential growth & personal development opportunities.
  • 🫶 VolunteerPerk - 16 paid hours per year to volunteer for a cause of your choice.
  • 🌎 "Work from anywhere" in the world allowance of 20 working days per year.
  • 📚 IRL English or Spanish Lessons are held in the Barcelona office.

How We Work
Our Vision is for a world where TravelPerk is the platform for human connection in real life (IRL). We take an IRL-first approach to work, where our team works together in person 3 days a week. For roles in Customer Care, this can be up to 5 days per week in the office. As such, this role requires you to be within commuting distance of our hubs. We fundamentally believe in meeting in real life to improve connectivity, productivity, and creativity, ultimately making us a great workplace.

At TravelPerk, we prioritise experience and potential over academic qualifications for this role. Talent and ability aren't always reflected in formal credentials.

TravelPerk is a global company with a diverse customer base, and we want to ensure that the people behind our product reflect that. We're an equal opportunity employer, meaning you're welcome at TravelPerk regardless of your appearance, where you're from, or anything else that makes you.

Protect Yourself from Recruitment Scams

All official communication from TravelPerk will always come from email addresses ending in @travelperk.com or @externaltravelperk.com, our verified social media channels, or recruiters listed on our official LinkedIn page. We will never ask you to pay for equipment, training, or fees, request sensitive personal information such as bank details early in the process, or communicate through unofficial apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, or Signal. If you receive a message claiming to be from TravelPerk that seems suspicious, please do not respond. Forward it to [email protected] and we’ll confirm whether it’s legitimate.
