You have 2+ years of experience leading teams.
You have a deep understanding of APIs (REST, GraphQL, and similar) and can create integrations with other backend systems.

How We Work 💻 (Barcelona or Madrid Office)

This balance helps us stay agile, creative, and closely connected, while giving everyone the space to do their best work.
