Senior DevOps Engineer

About Us

Perk (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 10,000 companies worldwide, including Wise, 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, Perk 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 Perk, 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 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.

We are Perk: a scaling unicorn valued at $1.3billion that has raised over $400m since our creation in 2015.

The Platform function at Perk builds the foundations that the rest of the company depends on. We own the shared infrastructure, core services, and developer tooling that enable product teams to move fast without breaking things. Our work is often behind the scenes, but its impact is everywhere: reliability, scalability, security, and developer experience.

We solve hard, systemic problems, make deliberate trade-offs, and hold ourselves accountable for the long-term health of the platform. If you care about leverage, clean abstractions, and building things other engineers actually enjoy using, you’ll feel at home here.

As an Individual Contributor in the Platform function at Perk, you’ll work on the systems that other engineers build on top of every day. That means core services, shared libraries, infrastructure, and developer tooling that need to be reliable, scalable, and boring in the best possible way.

This role is about leverage, not tickets. You’ll spend your time solving cross-cutting problems, designing clear abstractions, and making trade-offs that optimise for the whole company, not a single team. Success here looks like fewer incidents, faster development cycles, and other engineers barely noticing the platform because it just works.

We are looking for Senior DevOps Engineers that will contribute to the design, development and maintenance of our production and development infrastructure including all our deployment pipelines. As part of your role it will be crucial to ensure that the company has the required tooling to deploy, monitor, maintain and control the usage of the platform infrastructure and to ensure the security and safety of our applications and data.

In this role, you should have a keen eye for detail and excellent automation skills. If you are also competent in monitoring and are passionate about quality, we’d like to meet you.

You will work on a day-to-day basis with our product team to design, architect and implement our product. TravelPerk is a next-generation platform to take the pain out of booking and managing business travel.

As a Senior DevOps Engineer you will:

• Manage the current platform infrastructure

• Manage the current code deployment pipelines

• Ensure the safety and security of all our infrastructure and data

• Maintain all the cloud tools used on the production infrastructure

• Support product squads with the relevant knowledge about the infrastructure evolution and needs

• Recommend ways to improve the current setup

Required skills and experience:

• Experience as a Software Engineer or similar role working with large-scale infrastructure systems

• Relevant knowledge related to cloud virtualisation platforms such as AWS, Azure or Google Cloud

• Relevant knowledge with regards to containerisation technologies such as Docker or Kubernetes

• Excellent scripting and automation skills

• Knowledge/Understanding of:

  • Scripting (Python, Ansible, Bash, Linux, etc.)

  • AWS

  • Docker

  • CircleCi, Codeship, Fastlane, BitRise or similar technologies

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.
