Good to know if you are moving

  • The Workshop's Spanish offices are a key engineering hub, meaning international hires can work on core product development rather than local support tasks.
  • The company operates a hybrid/remote-friendly culture, with teams distributed across the UK, Spain, and other locations, which eases the relocation process.
  • The tech stack is modern (cloud, microservices, event-driven architectures), which is attractive for engineers looking to keep their skills current.
  • The company offers relocation support and visa sponsorship for international candidates in many of its roles.
  • The iGaming sector is highly regulated, so engineers get exposure to compliance-heavy, high-stakes environments that are not common in other industries.
