What the job involves
- We are seeking a hands-on and visionary Data Engineering Lead to drive the design, development, and scaling of data infrastructure for our MarTech and Growth domains
- The ideal candidate comes from an e-commerce/product, IT or data company who has experience in technical coaching with execution — helping the team build and scale high-impact data solutions and collaborate across domains to shape our Customer Data Platform (CDP), campaign automation, and growth optimization strategies
- As the Tech Lead, you will be responsible for hands-on design and implementation of data pipelines, modeling strategies, and integration solutions
- You will work closely with the MarTech Engineering Manager and Product Owner, and collaborate across the cross-functional stakeholders to align technical decisions with business outcomes
- This is an ideal role for someone who thrives on solving complex data problems, cares deeply about technical excellence, and enjoys mentoring engineers while staying close to the code
- Provide technical leadership in designing, building, and maintaining robust and scalable data pipelines
- Own architectural decisions for the data infrastructure that powers our CDP and marketing data stack, ensuring scalability, quality, and performance

Our take
Adevinta Spain is part of the global Adevinta family, which is publicly listed in its native Norway. The company as a whole is one of the world’s largest classified marketplace companies, boasting a portfolio of around 50 brands in over a dozen countries, and employing close to 10,000 people.
The Spanish arm owns a number of the country's top digital classifieds marketplaces including Fotocasa, InfoJobs, and Milanuncios. At a time when larger companies are acquiring scores of eCommerce startups – a concept dubbed “eCommerce rollups” – it’s really interesting that Adevinta seems to have made quite the head start.
Indeed the fact that Adevinta isn’t going after D2C brands, but the marketplaces themselves, is clever. Considering that well over $2 trillion is spent annually on online marketplaces, Adevinta Spain (as well as Adevinta as a whole) is operating from a position of strength in an extremely lucrative market, especially since a buyout by Blackstone and Permira in November 2023 was initiated. This will further bolster Adevinta's position as a market leader under strong new ownerhsip.
