Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for builders — engineers who thrive in small, autonomous teams and want to own product and technical decisions from idea to launch
- "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
- 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
Desirable
- 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
What the job involves
- 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
Our take
Although business travellers are often at the forefront of driving company growth, booking travel is typically a logistical nightmare as corporate travel tools are underdeveloped and stuck way in the past. TravelPerk has built a platform free from micromanagement, creating an experience that puts business travellers first.
TravelPerk's number of active users has grown year on year. Further, as well as more customers using the platform, those on it are using it more regularly. This is a clear signal that TravelPerk has a product-market fit and is in scaling mode. The company has more than 2,000 customers, including scaleups like GetYourGuide, Breilting, Aesop and Medskin.
According to TravelPerk, its unit economics are strong already, which puts it in a good position to grow without diluting itself too much through investment. The company is still innovating and is planning to release more products that will give the business traveller more freedom and flexibility than ever before. A US expansion included the 2024 acquisition of AmTrav, whilst the acquisition of AI spend management leader Yokoy in Europe indicates a period of international scaling. Further exemplifying this is its Series E funding of $200 million awarded in 2025, which raised TravelPerk's valuation to $2.7 billion and will help it continue its growth.
