Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Barcelona, we’ve grown to over 1,400 people across Europe and North America. In 2022 we became a ‘unicorn’ and in 2025 we raised $200 million in a Series E funding round, increasing our valuation of $2.7 billion.

These are just some of the reasons why global brands like Wise, Red Bull, GetYourGuide, and Aesop trust us to get the most out of their travel.
We’re looking for a proactive, meticulous, and creatively driven UI Designer who lives and breathes design systems, lives by design tokens, and has experience building scalable digital experiences.
In this role, you’ll be responsible for elevating our UX and UI—applying best practices and data-driven insights to ensure every design decision enhances usability and clarity, whilst delivering a brand experience and aligning to business objectives.
You’ll take ownership of our marketing website, sitting within the marketing brand design team, and play a key role in shaping how our brand comes to life online. Collaborating closely with product designers, you’ll help align visual and experiential consistency across our marketing site and product. You’ll work hand-in-hand with developers ensuring design translates into code.
Key Responsibilities:
- Maintain and optimize our existing design system, keeping it visually consistent and meeting accessibility needs
- Act as a champion for design quality—pushing for continuous improvement and enhanced user experience to meet objectives, whilst respecting the design system
- Document clear guidelines and specs so anyone—designer or developer—can jump in easily
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to uphold best-in-class visual and interaction design practices
- Ensure pixel-perfect implementation of UI components, adhering to design guidelines and brand consistency
- Build a partnership with the developer to ensure design translates perfectly into code
Requirements:
- 5+ years of experience in UI/visual design, with a solid grasp of design tokens, component libraries and system thinking
- A knack for balancing brand and creativity with practical UI/UX needs
- A systematic mindset, understanding that each component and micro-interaction contributes to a seamless, cohesive user experience
- UX experience wireframing, prototyping and translating user needs, insights and business goals into clear user journeys
- Experience with AB testing and an appetite for seeking opportunities to use insights/data for design experiments
- Proficiency in Figma
- A track record of collaborating with engineers on UI implementation
- Familiarity with web performance and accessibility standards
How we work
Our Vision is for a world where TravelPerk is the platform for human connection in real life (IRL). We take an IRL-first approach to work, where our team works together in person 3 days a week. For roles in Customer Care, this can be up to 5 days per week in the office. As such, this role requires you to be within commuting distance of our hubs. We fundamentally believe in meeting in real life to improve connectivity, productivity, and creativity, ultimately making us a great workplace.
At TravelPerk, we prioritize experience and potential over academic qualifications for this role. We believe that talent and ability aren't always reflected in formal credentials.
TravelPerk is a global company with a diverse customer base—and we want to ensure that the people behind our product reflect that. We're an equal opportunity employer, meaning you're welcome at TravelPerk regardless of your appearance, where you're from, or anything else that makes you.
All official communication from TravelPerk comes from @travelperk.com email addresses, our verified social media channels, or recruiters listed on our official LinkedIn page. We will never ask candidates to pay for equipment or make any kind of payment during the hiring process.
