Spain's startup scene has grown out of its two big hubs into a real market. Barcelona built the consumer and product companies — Glovo, Wallapop, Typeform, Preply's European base — while Madrid produced Cabify, Fever, Idealista and Jobandtalent. Several have passed the billion-euro mark, and the generation behind them (SeQura, Lodgify, Amenitiz, Ukio, Multiverse Computing) is hiring steadily. Alongside the homegrown names, international scaleups treat Spain as a serious engineering location: Revolut and N26 hire for Spain, Celonis runs a Madrid hub, and remote-first companies like Remote and Pleo recruit Spanish-based staff.

The working language at most of these companies is English — product, engineering and data teams especially — which makes startups one of the most accessible sectors for new arrivals. The trade-off against the corporates is the classic one: salaries sit between Spanish market rates and Big Tech, equity is part of the package, and scope grows faster than titles. Expect the list to lean Barcelona and Madrid, with a meaningful remote slice.
