Spain

Feeny is tracking about 1,922 open tech roles in Spain, from roughly 284 companies hiring. Each listing comes from a company's own careers page, so it's a live opening rather than a stale repost. Barcelona and Madrid carry most of the volume, with Valencia adding more. Filter by city or discipline to narrow it down.

Barcelona and Madrid are the two engines, and together they make up Southern Europe's busiest tech scene. Barcelona has long drawn founders with its mix of coast, culture, and lower costs, while Madrid brings the bigger companies and the capital's business base. Valencia is the growing third option. Across the 3 Spanish cities we index, the split between Barcelona and Madrid is really where the decision sits.

Barcelona is home to Fever, TravelPerk, and Factorial, three companies that scaled into real businesses across events, travel, and HR software. Madrid brings its own names, with Cabify in mobility, Jobandtalent in staffing tech, and Idealista in property. Between the two cities you get a solid spread of consumer and B2B companies. Feeny lists roles from about 284 companies nationwide, so the current set is worth a direct look.

The mix leans consumer apps, travel tech, fintech, and backend engineering. Barcelona's TravelPerk and Fever drive a lot of consumer and product hiring, while Madrid's Cabify and Jobandtalent add mobility and marketplace roles. Fintech runs through both cities. It's a scene built more on consumer-facing products than deep infrastructure.

Spain's big draw is lifestyle for the money: costs run well below London or Paris, so a decent salary goes a long way, and Barcelona's coast and weather don't hurt. That combination has pulled in founders and remote engineers who want European quality of life without European prices. Local salaries are lower than in the northern hubs, which is the honest trade if you're coming from a higher-paying market. For remote-first work, though, the math often lands in your favor.

Spain's Startup Law created a Digital Nomad visa and eased the hiring of foreign talent, which has made the country noticeably more open in recent years. The EU Blue Card applies as well for the more traditional skilled-worker route. If your work is remote-friendly, the Digital Nomad path is worth a serious look. Overall the market has become welcoming to foreign hires, especially outside the biggest legacy employers.
