carwow is looking for Senior Software Engineers to join our engineering team in Spain. We’ve introduced a new remote-first flexible working policy which means you have the option to work on a fully remote basis. If you have a preference to work from our Madrid office, either full time or a few days per week, then you are more than welcome to.
About carwow
Let's face it, car buying isn't easy. That's why at carwow, we're leading the mission to make it better, with our vision of helping our customers to be the most informed and empowered car buyers in the world. Since carwow’s inception, we’ve already improved the car buying experience for hundreds of thousands of people, selling cars through our site with a total value of £10.3Bn.
We’re a highly driven (excuse the pun) scale-up with a team of circa 250 based in London, Munich and Madrid and are backed by some of Europe’s leading VCs & car manufacturer Daimler (Mercedes-Benz).
However, our ambitions don’t stop there. This year, we are quickly scaling across many areas of our business with huge plans for the future. So, if you always aim to WOW through everything you do (check out more info about our values here), we’d love you to join us on our journey.
