Our Location & Remote Policy️

Being based in Barcelona or the surrounding areas is required. If you’re not currently located here but are open to relocating, please let us know; we’ll be happy to support you through the process.

We value both focused individual work and the energy that comes from being together. That’s why we keep office time intentional and designed around real collaboration.

Our hybrid policy requires just 12 days per quarter in our office (Sant Martí district) with your team. These aren’t badge-swipe appearances. They’re for the good stuff: planning, pairing, sketching ideas on whiteboards, making big decisions, and having the kinds of conversations that work better face to face.
We genuinely like being together. But when you need uninterrupted focus time at home, that’s respected too.
Beyond the quarterly minimum, we trust you. If you and your teammates feel extra face-to-face time will unblock a complex problem, power a workshop, or make pair programming more effective, go for it.
No arbitrary rules. Just professional judgment and strong teamwork.
And because life doesn’t run on a quarterly cadence…

You also get up to 8 weeks per year of fully remote work from anywhere.
Spend extended time with family, escape the winter, explore a new location, or simply enjoy a longer period without commuting.
We designed this model to give you the best of both worlds: the flexibility to work where you’re most productive, and the connection that comes from regularly spending time with a team you enjoy working with.
