**About Us** Perk (formerly TravelPerk) is the intelligent platform for travel and spend management.

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](https://www.perk.com/shadow-work-report).

This is a complex, multi-sided offering spanning corporate event planners, event support specialists on the Perk side, suppliers and event participants. You'll be the design lead shaping how those experiences come together in the product and within the broader Perk platform (travel, spend). At Perk, 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 **Perk Events**. Born from our internal innovation incubator, Perk 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.

At Perk, 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 Perk, 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 Perk 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 Perk, *we are a team*, the team's success is your success. **AI at Perk** AI is embedded in how we work across every function. The tools you'll use day-to-day are AI-enabled so you can move faster and spend more time on the work that matters. In practice, that means using AI to research and prioritise accounts, draft and refine outreach, handle customer interactions more effectively, synthesise information, and cut through shadow work - the invisible tasks that pull people away from the work only they can do - so you can focus on relationships and outcomes. **How We Work** At Perk, we take an IRL-first approach to work, where our team works together in-person 3 days a week. As such, this role requires you to be based within commuting distance of our hubs. We fundamentally believe in the value of meeting in real life to improve connectivity, productivity, creativity and ultimately making us a great place to work. For certain roles, we can help with relocation from anywhere in the world, English is the official language at the office. Please submit your resume in English if you choose to apply. Do not forget to submit an updated portfolio and/or resume. Perk is a global company with a diverse customer base, and we want to make sure the people behind our product reflect that. We’re an equal opportunity employer, which means you’re welcome at Perk regardless of how you look, where you’re from, or anything else that makes you, well, you. **Protect Yourself from Recruitment Scams** All official communication from Perk will always come from email addresses ending in @[](http://perk.com) or @[](http://externalperk.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 Perk that seems suspicious, please do not respond. Forward it to security [at] perk .com, and we will confirm whether it is legitimate. #LI-Hybrid
