Job Description

Wallapop is a Barcelona based scale-up driven by the purpose to empower people to embrace a more conscious and human way of consumption. We believe in a world where collaborative economy is mainstream. This is what drives us.

Wallapop operates in Spain, Italy and Portugal, offering a catalogue of several hundreds of millions of products and services. Powered by technical innovation and continuous improvement, we bring together the scale & trust of classifieds with the marketplace’s convenience & reach. Our mission is to enable a connected trade ecosystem, making 2nd-hand the norm through smart use of technology.

Backed by top investors such as Accel, Insight Partners & Naver Corp we bring our total valuation to 690 million EUR and are embarking on our international journey with the aim to become the world’s best unique goods trading platform.

 

The Challenge

Since our complexity is increasing and our product expands in other markets, our tech challenges are becoming more complex to solve. We look for tech leaders to help us navigate through the complexity and lead the team to the next stage.

What You Will Do

  • Lead the company technical vision and long-term technology strategy for Wallapop's web back office applications and platform tools.
  • Promote high-impact tech initiatives and prepare technical plans to improve our web platform based on business needs.
  • Participate in hiring (interviews and reviewing tech tests) and promote improvements in our hiring assessment activities.
  • Use data and insights to set the appropriate priorities and make the right decisions.
  • Review some code and ensure the chosen strategy is going in the right direction.
  • Collaborate closely with other engineers across Wallapop and help them grow through technical leadership and mentoring.
  • Guide and facilitate architecture and infrastructure decisions helping our web peers to do their work in the product teams.

What We’re Looking For

  • You have previous experience defining and leading a technical strategy for evolving and scaling web products.
  • You have a deep understanding and strong fundamentals in JavaScript/TypeScript concepts, frameworks (especially React and Angular) and web architecture.
  • You master the engineering practices that ensure the delivery of high-quality software.
  • You have a product mindset and you apply that to build out platform tools and services.
  • You are an excellent communicator and you can speak to technical and non-technical stakeholders on the appropriate level of abstraction.
  • You share your knowledge with others and help them grow. You have experience mentoring engineers and introducing them to the best engineering practices.
  • You have strong analytical skills and you use them to reach trade-offs between tech and business needs.
  • You have a growth mindset. You embrace challenges and celebrate wins as well as failures.

Do note that all our jobs are Barcelona-based. We work in a mostly remote capacity offering great flexibility to our employees, but we believe in the power of getting together regularly in our office. As a first iteration, we expect a 4+ day/month office attendance for which the specifics are decided on a team level.

Wallapop is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees as we want Wallapop to be a place for everyone.
