Full Stack Laravel Developer in Barcelona
I'm Ignacio Amat, Senior Full Stack Developer with 5+ years shipping production at scale (brand-launch campaigns, delivery, regulated banking and payments in production). I work remote from Barcelona with Barcelona and Catalonia companies. Open to remote roles, fixed-term contracts and engineering teams.
Context
Why a remote developer from Barcelona for Barcelona?
I live in Barcelona — I'm a native local candidate with on-site availability when it adds value. My direct Barcelona-product experience (Manifiesto · brand launches, consumer product, regulated banking, delivery and payments) means zero cultural or delivery-rhythm ramp-up.
I live in Barcelona and know the local ecosystem first-hand: 2.5+ years at Manifiesto on consumer product at scale, regulated banking, delivery and launch campaigns.
Stack: modern Laravel, Vue 3, Livewire, TypeScript. Daily workflow with Claude Code and MCP. Also legacy Laravel upgrades. 5+ years in production.Full stack
- Same CET timezone — no offset.
- Employment, fixed-term contract, B2B or EOR if the company needs it.
- Native Spanish + C1 English.

Market
Tech job market in Barcelona
Barcelona is Spain's main tech hub alongside Madrid, with strong scaleup concentration (TravelPerk, Typeform, Wallapop, Factorial, Cabify) and consumer/B2B product at scale. Senior Laravel + Vue demand is very high, especially in startup product, marketplace and SaaS. More remote/hybrid culture than enterprise.
