BI Developer at Booksy - Remote Poland or Spain — Columbus
Traveler-Friendly Insight
Remote-First, But Country-Locked
Booksy operates on a remote-first model, which is a genuine plus for location flexibility — but there's a critical caveat: you must be based in the country/region the role is advertised in, meaning Poland or Spain. This rules out true nomadic freedom unless you hold residency or a long-stay visa in one of these two countries.
Visa Considerations
- Poland: EU citizens can live and work freely. Non-EU nationals may consider Poland's recently introduced digital nomad-friendly residence options, though a standard work/residence permit is the most reliable path for employment.
- Spain: Spain offers a formal Digital Nomad Visa (since 2023) for non-EU remote workers, valid for up to 5 years. This could be a strong fit if you want to base yourself in Barcelona or Madrid while working for a remote-first employer.
Async vs. Fixed Hours
The job description doesn't specify core hours, which suggests reasonable schedule flexibility. As a data/BI role with async-compatible deliverables (dashboards, semantic layers), significant portions of the work can likely be done on a flexible schedule — though team syncs will occur within European time zones (CET/CEST).
Cost of Living Comparison (no salary disclosed)
- Warsaw, Poland: Very affordable for EU standards — strong purchasing power for a tech salary.
- Barcelona, Spain: Mid-range; higher rent but strong quality of life.
From empowering entrepreneurs to build successful businesses, to supporting their clients to arrange 'me time' moments, we're in the business of elevating people — helping them to thrive and feel fantastic. Lifting others up can be hard, heavy work, and we passionately believe that the sense of purpose and personal satisfaction this brings are worth it.
What started in Poland is now an international, cloud-based marketplace that's scaling rapidly. We bring independent business owners together with their customers on a product that connects creative communities and opens up worlds of opportunities.
For our providers, our products offer services for getting booked, paid, and building a loyal client base. For their clients, we're where they can find their favourite spots, discover new businesses and book appointments in an instant.
Working in a rapidly growing, ever-changing scale-up comes with its own set of opportunities and challenges. If you prefer a stable environment with clear processes and structures, then — we've got to be honest — you won't always find that here. However, if you enjoy inventively solving problems with others, helping create clarity when things get confusing, and prioritising your own path within ambiguity, then the chances are that you'll love the opportunities available to grow your career at Booksy.

Nice to Have

- Familiarity with dbt
- Curiosity about AI tools, plus the habit of checking their output
Benefits
