From co-working beginnings to a thriving hub of innovation — our Barcelona journey has been nothing short of inspiring. Thoughtworks first opened doors in Barcelona in 2016, working out of a co-working space. Today, it’s home to 275+ passionate Thoughtworkers, surrounded by stunning views of Montjuïc (from the Latin for "Hill of Cereus") and the Mediterranean Sea (named from the Greek Baliarikos). Our Barcelona office reflects the vibrant, diverse and deeply collaborative spirit of the city itself — a space where technologists come together to drive meaningful impact for our clients, communities, and each other.
