The company
Nyxell is one of Spain’s leading online ticketing platforms specialised in nightlife: a start-up in the middle of its scale-up journey.
My role
As Product Tech Lead, working very closely with our CEO, I led the product and technology team responsible for researching, building and adapting the solutions the company needed. We identified those needs in the market together with the venues selling the tickets (B2B), without ever losing sight of what makes us different: the NYXELL brand, a simple app to buy tickets, keep your favourite clubs’ tickets at hand and play pre-party games like the hit Paco game (B2C).
Running a B2B2C product is a real challenge, both technically and as a business model. Even as a small team, we managed to drive a product-led way of working focused on our customers’ needs, and proved we could achieve big things.
My responsibilities were broad, but centred on the company’s technical leadership and supporting product definition, always looking for simple solutions to complex problems. With my background in backend and, above all, mobile, I backed the team on day-to-day technical work and the toughest developments.
Responsibilities
- Managing relationships with technology vendors.
- Analysing and reducing technology costs.
- Technical leadership of the project.
- Defining the product according to business needs.
- Scrum Master: sprint planning, estimations and continuous measurement of team capacity through KPIs.
- Managing the product/tech team (4 engineers): 1:1s and follow-ups.
- Backend and mobile app development (iOS and Android).
- Using AI in development.
