The company
Wallapop is one of the largest and most successful Spanish startups: Spain’s go-to second-hand marketplace, with millions of daily active users.
My role
I worked as a freelance iOS Engineer in the Innovation Speed squad, whose mission was to create internal value for the company by shortening development cycles within SCRUM through CI/CD, technology componentization and Unit & UI Testing.
My biggest milestone was leading the project that made the company-wide Design System possible, automating design and UI processes. It enabled teams to build and maintain consistent products in terms of design and user experience, standardising everything from how Design created a new screen or flow all the way to the final UI Testing step in engineering.
Responsibilities
- Technical leadership of the iOS Design System project.
- Boosting team productivity through CI/CD, modularization and componentization.
- Defining and rolling out automated testing strategies (unit, UI and snapshot).
- Coordinating with other squads and with Product, Design and QA.
What I took away
A great deal of technical maturity and, above all, communication and cross-squad collaboration skills with people from very different disciplines. Being part of a company like this makes you grow personally and professionally in ways you don’t expect.
