Role
Who you are
- Are you a Software Engineer with a passion for solving complex problems that move people around the world?
- A product-minded engineer who thinks beyond code to the user impact
- A love for simplicity, efficiency, and performance in everything you build
- Strong experience developing web-based products, ideally with a backend focus (Python, Node.js, Go, or similar)
- Full-stack experience allowing you to take end to end ownership of what you build
- Passion for testing, code quality, and automation
- Curiosity to learn new tools, frameworks, and travel industry tech
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills
Desirable
- Experience integrating or building flight search and booking systems
- Familiarity with GDS, NDC, or airline APIs
- Experience with AI-assisted development (Copilot, Cline, etc.) or building AI-backed product features
- DevOps experience on AWS
- Contributions to open source or side projects that show your love for building
What the job involves
- You’ll join our product and engineering teams to design, build, and scale the flight booking experience that powers thousands of business trips every day
- You’ll work closely with our product managers, product designers, and other engineers to:
- Build and optimize our flight booking engine on Amazon Web Services using Python and React
- Design scalable integrations with multiple airline and GDS APIs (think Amadeus, Sabre, NDC, etc.)
- Architect systems that handle search, pricing, and availability across millions of flight combinations — fast
- You build it, you run it - ensure reliability, observability, and testability at scale
- Work in an agile, cross-functional team, focused on shipping clean, well-tested, and documented code
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.
