You’re a tech or IT student. You’re about to graduate or you have done so for a year or so. You start to wonder about the future. And then you ask yourself what’s next.
eDO is NEXT!
Join the world's leading travel subscription platform and one of the largest e-commerce businesses in Europe.
If you’re looking for the best opportunity to start your career in the tech field, then think no more. eDO’s Graduate Program is here to help you ease all of those questions that arise when you are starting to build your career. At eDO you’ll not only learn and develop but also help to shape the future of travel at the world’s leading travel subscription platform and one of the largest e-commerce businesses in Europe using cutting-edge technology.
So, what’s NEXT?
NEXT is a one-year graduate program developed by eDreams ODIGEO and designed for those who are about to or have recently graduated from a tech-related degree.
It’s focused on personal learning and development and at the same time allowing you to have a real experience of what it is like to work at eDO.
No serving coffees or doing copies, here you’ll have the chance to do real work that has an impact on the company. Ok, maybe a cup of coffee or two because they are free at the office and we can always have a quick break.
What you will do:
The main goal here is to learn. So don’t worry if you still don’t have a lot of experience or knowledge. We got your back.
During NEXT you’ll be able to develop the technical and soft skills that will help you start your career in technology to later keep growing through our career path. NEXT up, these are some of the things to expect:
- Work directly in one of our Agile multidisciplinary teams where you will influence products in one of our many areas, such as our booking experience, payments, searches and many more, working with cutting-edge technologies, like Java 8 to Java 11, ES6 code, frameworks like Backbone, Javascript libraries like ReactJS, VueJS and Lodash, Big Data (Kafka, Cassandra, Redis, Neo4j…), BigTable, Docker, Google Cloud, Style Sheet preprocessors like SASS, testing frameworks and libraries like Mocha, Chai, Underscore, Automatic Functional Testing (Selenium + Cucumber + NodeJS) or packages and task runners like WebPack, Babel, Grunt, NPM.
- Develop hands-on experience with applied AI development tools, including AI-powered coding assistants such as GitHub Copilot to improve development efficiency, code quality, and team productivity.
- A dedicated onboarding and career path, tailored to your needs and goals, with the possibility of choosing a Backend or Frontend path.
- Mentoring from experienced peers, with guided training and learning on the job with Senior Developers, Architects, QA Managers and many more.
- A true open culture where feedback is king. We work in an open and collaborative environment where every door is open and any idea is valued.
Apply!
If you’re a recent graduate from any tech-related field, such as Computer Science or similar, are fluent in English and still don’t have a lot of work experience, then what are you waiting for?
Of course, it helps if you have coded before, but more than experience, we’re looking for people with a fresh and proactive attitude with a sharp analytical mindset. You’re basically a go-getter who is always looking for ways to improve and iterate.
A strong interest and demonstrated engagement in AI is a must.
This includes exposure to or hands-on experience with Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, or automation, whether through academic coursework, personal projects, online learning, or independent experimentation. Curiosity alone is not enough; you should already be actively exploring or applying AI in some form.
But most importantly, you’re eager to learn!
What can I get NEXT?
The best talent deserves the best benefits
At NEXT you’ll have the same benefits as an eDOer. It’s not like we love lists, but here are just some of the main ones:
A rewarding Compensation package! 💥 Prime Plus membership, competitive salary and benefits package, including flexible benefits, performance-based bonuses, birthday day off, discounts and partnerships, relocation support and the possibility of choosing your equipment and, even better, keeping it after 3 years.

26 de set.Bending Spoons
Graduate software engineer
Bending Spoons · Málaga, ES
Teletreball . Python Docker Kubernetes Microservices REST gRPC Excel Office
At Bending Spoons, we’re striving to build one of the all-time great companies. A company that serves a huge number of customers. A company where team members grow to their full potential. A company that functions at unparalleled levels of effectiveness and efficiency. A company that creates value for shareowners at an extraordinary rate. And a company that does so while adhering to high ethical standards.
In pursuit of this objective, we acquire and improve digital businesses, not to sell on, but to own and operate for the long term. The transformations we make are often deep—designed to speed up innovation, benefit customers, and strengthen business performance. Here, hierarchy is minimal and teams are small and talent-dense. We operate established products with the ambition, agility, and urgency of a startup. Across the company, we integrate AI deeply into how we work so that human judgment and machine intelligence reinforce each other.
For a talented, driven, and collaborative individual, working at Bending Spoons is an opportunity to learn, make an impact, and progress their career at an exceptionally high rate. That’s our promise to such a candidate.
A few examples of your responsibilities
- Build software that matters. Take real ownership from idea to production, creating systems used by millions and evolving them into products at scale.
- Amplify your impact with AI. Integrate the most powerful AI tools directly into your development workflow—design, implementation, testing, and documentation—to move faster while maintaining high standards for correctness, reliability, and maintainability.
- Master your toolkit. Work across diverse stacks with end-to-end ownership, choosing the right technologies for each challenge. From monoliths to microservices, gRPC to REST, Kubernetes to Docker, Python to Rust—you’ll apply technologies thoughtfully, focusing on depth and purpose rather than trends.
- Simplify relentlessly. Question every layer of complexity. Improve architectures, pipelines, and codebases to build systems that are simpler, more scalable, and easier to maintain.
- Reasoning ability. Given the necessary knowledge, you can solve complex problems. You think from first principles, and structure your ideas sharply. You resist the influence of biases. You identify and take care of the details that matter.
- Drive. You’re extremely ambitious in everything you do—and your initiative, effort, and tenacity match the intensity of your ambition. You feel deeply responsible for your work. You hold yourself to a high—and rising—bar.
- Team spirit. You give generously and without the expectation of receiving in return. You support the best idea, not your idea. You're always happy to get your hands dirty to help your team. You’re reliable, honest, and transparent.
- Proficiency in English. You read, write, and speak proficiently in English.
- Incredibly talented, entrepreneurial teams. You’ll work in small, result-oriented, autonomous teams alongside some of the brightest people in your field.
- An exceptional opportunity for growth. We go to great lengths to hire individuals of outstanding potential—then, our priority is to put them in the ideal position to thrive. Spooners in their 20s lead products worth hundreds of millions of dollars. And if you’ve got what it takes, you’ll soon be playing an essential role in major projects, too.
- All. These. Benefits. Flexible hours, remote working, unlimited backing for learning and training, top-of-the-market health insurance, a rich relocation package, generous parental support, and a yearly retreat to a stunning location. We help each Spooner set up the conditions to do their best work.
- A flexible start date and part-time options. You don't need to wait until graduation to apply. We offer flexible start dates and the possibility to begin part-time, transitioning to full-time as you complete your degree. Many Spooners joined before graduating and progressively took on greater responsibility, with arrangements that allowed them to do so without compromising their education.
- Competitive pay and access to company equity at a discount. Typical annual salary offers range from £85,797 to £151,436 in London and from €66,065 to €107,837 elsewhere in Europe. The lower end of these ranges applies to candidates with little or no relevant experience, while exceptionally experienced candidates may receive offers of up to £316,052 in London or €240,330 elsewhere in Europe. Candidates offered a permanent contract may choose to receive part of their compensation in discounted company equity.
Permanent or fixed-term. Full-time.
Location
Milan (Italy), London (UK), Madrid (Spain), Warsaw (Poland), or fully remote from eligible countries.
The selection process
In our screening process, we prioritize verifiable signals of excellence, regardless of seniority. There are no preferential paths beyond what your application demonstrates, and we evaluate every candidate through the same process.
Some people hold back because they feel they lack experience or have an “imperfect” CV. If you like the role and believe you could excel over time, don’t self-reject.
All applications go through our careers page, which is the only way to be considered. If you pass our screening, you’ll be asked to complete one or more tests. They are challenging, may involve unfamiliar problems, and can take several hours. To learn more about what to expect throughout the selection process, you can find additional information here.
We set the bar high and won’t extend an offer until we’re confident we’ve found the right candidate. This is why a job may remain open for months or be reposted several times.
We consider all applicants for employment and provide reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities—please let us know through this form.
Before you apply
If you’ve applied before but didn't receive an offer, we recommend waiting at least one year before applying again.
Bending Spoons is a demanding environment. We’re extremely ambitious and we hold ourselves—and one another—to a high standard. While this tends to lead to extraordinary learning, achievement, and career growth, it also requires significant commitment.
To help you ramp up quickly and set yourself up for success, we expect you to spend most days in our Milan office during your first few months with us, regardless of your long-term work location. It’s the best way to rapidly absorb our company culture and build trust with your new teammates. We’ll support you with generous travel and accommodation assistance. After that, you’re welcome to work from one of our offices, or remotely from approved countries—depending on what we agree at the offer stage.
If the role speaks to you and you’re excited to give your best, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now—we can’t wait to meet you.

About Abound
We’re redefining consumer lending in the UK, and beyond. Using advanced AI and Open Banking data, we make fair, affordable personal finance available to more people. While traditional lenders rely almost entirely on credit scores, we look at the full financial picture - how much you spend, and what you can afford to repay to build a deeper, more accurate understanding of each customer's unique financial situation.
And we've shown it works at scale. We’ve issued over £1.3bn in loans directly to customers while delivering market-leading credit performance - for every 10 defaults the industry expects, we see only 3. We also reached profitability just 2.5 years after launch.
Backed by £2bn+ of funding from top-tier investors including Citi, GSR Ventures, and Deutsche Bank, we’re recognised as one of Europe’s fastest-growing fintechs (Sifted, CNBC). Now, we’re expanding into new markets and product lines - and we’re looking for ambitious people who want to learn fast, take ownership, and grow with us.
About The Role
We're looking for a hands-on Lead Software Engineer to lead technology delivery for Abound Spain. This role will be responsible for adapting, deploying and operating Abound’s lending platform in Spain, ensuring it meets local business, operational and regulatory requirements while remaining aligned with our global technology strategy.
This role combines hands-on software engineering, solution architecture, technical leadership and team management, reporting to the Spain Director and to the Chief Product Officer. While remaining actively involved in software development, you will act as the technology owner for Spain, ensuring Abound’s global platform is successfully localised, integrated and operated within the Spanish market.
You will work closely with Product Managers, Engineering, Risk, Operations, Compliance and external technology partners to translate business requirements into scalable technical solutions. You will help shape the local technology roadmap, ensuring that Spain benefits from the strength of Abound’s existing platform while adapting it to the needs of the local market.
We value engineers who enjoy solving complex problems, take ownership beyond writing code, and are equally comfortable discussing architecture, integrations, operational resilience and software delivery. This is an opportunity to play a key role in launching and scaling Abound’s business in Spain while remaining close to the technology.
At Abound, you'll be part of a culture that values autonomy, curiosity and continuous improvement. You'll work with a modern Python-based technology stack, gain deep exposure to consumer lending and fintech, and can build a scalable technology operation from an established global platform.
Our technology stack
- Python (FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, OpenTelemetry, Procrastinate)
- PostgreSQL
- Liquibase
- Docker
- AWS
- Strong experience building and maintaining production systems in Python.
- Experience leading engineering teams or complex technical projects.
- A hands-on engineer who enjoys solving technical problems while providing technical leadership.

- Strong understanding of distributed systems, APIs, cloud-native architectures and modern software engineering practices.
- Experience integrating third-party technology providers and external platforms.
- Experience collaborating directly with business stakeholders to translate business requirements into scalable technical solutions.
- Strong engineering judgement with the ability to make pragmatic technical and architectural decisions.
- Experience maintaining highly available production environments with a focus on reliability, observability and operational excellence.
- Strong sense of ownership and accountability, with a delivery-focused mindset.
- Experience working with AWS or equivalent cloud platforms.
- Experience within consumer lending, retail banking or regulated financial services.
- Good understanding of the end-to-end lending lifecycle, including loan origination, servicing and collections.
- Experience working with lending platforms rather than building products entirely from scratch.
- Experience localising global technology platforms for regulated markets.
- Experience integrating Open Banking providers, payment providers, credit bureaus, identity verification, fraud prevention and collections platforms.
- Experience evaluating and selecting third-party technology vendors.
- Experience supporting Business Continuity Planning (BCP), Disaster Recovery and operational resilience initiatives.
- Experience operating technology within regulated environments, understanding governance, auditability, information security and operational controls.
- Leading and managing a small engineering team, supporting their growth through coaching, mentoring and regular feedback.
- Remaining hands-on by contributing directly to the codebase and leading engineering best practices.
- Acting as the technology owner for Spain, ensuring successful implementation and evolution of Abound’s platform within the local market.
- Defining solution architectures that leverage Abound’s global platform while addressing Spain-specific business, operational and regulatory requirements.
- Leading technical implementation of new capabilities required for the Spanish business.
- Coordinating internal engineering teams and third-party technology providers to deliver reliable, scalable solutions.
- Evaluating, integrating and managing third-party providers supporting the lending ecosystem, including payments, Open Banking, customer communications, fraud prevention and collections.
- Working closely with Product, Risk, Operations and Compliance teams to ensure technology solutions support business growth and operational excellence.
- Supporting engineers through code reviews, pairing and technical guidance.
- Participating throughout the full software development lifecycle, from design and implementation through testing, deployment, monitoring and production support.
- Helpinf structure engineering delivery, including sprint planning, estimation and retrospectives.
