Job description

About Us

the company (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 12,000 companies worldwide, including 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, the company 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 the company, 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 the travel, fintech, and SaaS industries, 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.

What you'll do:

You'll own building the experiences of our group travel and events product, an all-in-one platform helping companies book providers and coordinate their attendees. This is a complex, multi-sided offering spanning corporate event planners, event support specialists on the the company side, suppliers and event participants. You'll be the design lead shaping how those experiences come together in the product and within the broader the company platform (travel, spend).

At the company, we believe that real-life connections have greater value than ever. While the world has embraced hybrid work, the need for teams to gather, brainstorm, and celebrate in person has skyrocketed. That’s why we built the company Events.

Born from our internal innovation incubator, the company Events is our newest vertical. We are moving from "start-up" to "scale-up," and we are looking for a Senior Front End Engineer. This isn't just an ordinary Engineering role; it’s an opportunity to disrupt a legacy industry with AI-driven tech, and lead a world-class team driving towards ambitious revenue goals.

Some examples of what it means to be a Senior at the company

• Shape the bigger picture. You won't just build features, you'll refine the what to build and why. At the company, senior engineers are expected to go beyond the technical solution and focus on the problem itself. You'll contribute to your squad's quarterly goals and long-term vision alongside your Product Manager and Engineering Manager.

• Architect for today and tomorrow. When a big change is needed in how our platform works, you'll be the one writing the design documents that lay the foundation. You'll become a guardian of your team's technical quality; spotting areas of investment, proactively managing technical debt, and making sure we don't let "busy work" crowd out the work that truly matters. At the company, we believe in impact over effort: our customers see results, not the hours behind them. Your job is to make sure we're always investing our energy where it counts most.

• Lead across boundaries. Your influence won't stop at your own squad. You'll communicate complex ideas across multiple teams, proactively identify who needs to be involved, and drive alignment across the broader organisation. Whether it's coordinating a cross-squad initiative, contributing to one of our engineering guilds (where engineers from different teams align on shared technical topics), or pairing with architects on solution discovery, you'll operate comfortably beyond your immediate team.

• Raise the bar for everyone around you. Senior engineers at the company are mentors, coaches, and bar raisers. You'll support less experienced colleagues through direct mentorship, thoughtful feedback during reviews, and by modelling what great engineering looks like in practice. You'll help Engineering Managers understand where the team needs to grow technically, and you'll use spaces like guild meetings, design doc reviews, and pairing sessions to lift the overall standard. At the company, we are a team, the team's success is your success.
