The Challenge
Are you ready to kickstart your engineering career? We are launching our first cohort of our Full-Stack Graduate Program - an immersive, 18-month rotational journey designed to cultivate adaptable, high-impact T-shaped software engineers. At Wallapop, we believe in building solid vertical depth in a core technology while fostering a horizontal, working fluency across the rest of our ecosystem. Over the course of 18 months, you will complete three distinct 6-month rotations through our core engineering chapters, shipping real production code used by millions:
Backend Chapter: Deep dive into robust, scalable server-side systems using Kotlin Java (with Spring Boot, Ktor, AWS, and microservices).
Frontend (Web) Chapter: Build responsive, elegant, and modern web applications using React Angular.
Mobile Chapter: Craft exceptional native mobile experiences on either iOS (Swift) or Android (Kotlin/Java) depending on team fit.
You will be supported by a comprehensive,



three-tier mentorship model including a dedicated Anchor Engineering Manager for your entire 18-month journey, a rotating Chapter Mentor for daily pair-programming, and a Rotation Team Manager to integrate you into cross-functional agile rituals. We also treat AI-native developer tooling (GitHub Copilot, Claude, etc.) as first-class citizens to help you ramp up and contribute fast!
What You Will Do
Build and ship features on systems used by millions of buyers and sellers - real work, not training exercises.
Rotate across engineering chapters over 18 months, gaining hands-on experience in Backend (Kotlin/Java), Frontend/Web (React/Angular), and one mobile platform (iOS or Android).
Work with senior and mid-level engineers who will mentor you, review your code, and push you to grow.
Use AI tooling as a first-class part of your workflow - Copilot, Claude, and similar tools are how we work, not an afterthought.
Participate fully in team life: standups, planning, retros, code reviews.
Own your learning - flag blockers fast, ask questions freely, and teach back what youre learning.
What We’re Looking For
Fresh graduate - University (e.G., UPC), Grado Superior, or equivalent. This is your first professional engineering role.
Basic coding fluency - youve built things, you can debug, you understand what your code actually does.
Curiosity - you ask why, not just how.
Learning velocity - you pick things up fast and lean into unfamiliar territory.
Openness to breadth - youre not here to be a one-stack specialist.



You want to understand the whole picture.
Care - you want to do software well, for the right reasons.
Fluent English - Ability to communicate clearly and effectively with English-only stakeholders across Wallapop.
What We Offer
Permanent contract from day one - youre an engineer at Wallapop, not a trainee on a clock.
18 months of structured rotation with real ownership at every stage.
A dedicated mentor per chapter + a stable Anchor Engineering Manager across the full program.
AI-native onboarding - youll be set up with the tooling and context to contribute fast.
A clear path to becoming a fully fledged Full-Stack Engineer at the end of the 18-month rotation.
Competitive graduate salary.
Wallapops standard benefits package (detailed below!).
