ALOHAS isn't just a footwear brand — we're proving fashion can be made differently. Working at ALOHAS means being part of the growth of a fast-moving Spanish start-up, with a young, creative team that communicates fast and works with real energy. It's demanding — but the kind of demanding that teaches you something new every week, in an environment where sustainability isn't a policy, it's just how we live.
In a nutshell, we love what we do and it shows!
Technology isn't a support function — it's the foundation of how the whole business runs: product, brand, growth, finance and operations.
We're hiring our first full-time CTO to own our technology end to end — vision, architecture, the platforms that run the business (Shopify, Odoo, data, AI agents) and the team that builds them.
Staff or Principal Engineer , a CTO at a small company, or an engineering lead who never stopped coding , at a product company (marketplace, SaaS, e-commerce), and you're ready to own technology end to end and make it yours — this is for you. Hands-on role: you will spend roughly half your time writing code, and the other half setting direction and growing a small team. You'll lead a lean internal team plus our AI Software Crafter and specialized partners. A note on language: our team works in Spanish day to day — stand-ups, docs and decisions all happen in Spanish. The role is based in Barcelona, hybrid, two to three days a week in the office.
Shopify (e-commerce, retail, marketplace), the B2B/wholesale stack, and their integration with Odoo ERP, data and logistics — a genuinely omnichannel, event-driven system.
Make data a strategic asset. A reliable, centralized data platform (GCP/BigQuery,



modern ETL) feeding analytics and decisions across B2C, B2B and Retail.
enable the AI Software Crafter and partners; set a delivery-driven culture with light, effective governance (standards, testing, CI/CD, sensible tech-debt management).
Have led engineering at a high-growth product company — as a Senior EM / Eng Director / Staff+ — and are ready to own technology end to end .
Are hands-on and modern : cloud-native (GCP ideally), API-first / event-driven systems, solid data architecture — you still get into the details.
Have real, recent AI/LLM experience — agents, RAG, LLMs in production — not just an interest in it. Think product-first : you optimize for user and business impact, not tech for its own sake.
Fashion / retail / e-commerce and Shopify / ERP exposure is a strong plus (not a hard requirement).
Are based in Barcelona (hybrid) and fluent in English and Spanish .
A unified, reliable stack across B2C, B2B and Retail, with clean Shopify ERP finance/logistics integration.
AI genuinely embedded in how the business operates — agents and automations delivering measurable impact.
Trustworthy, automated data flows powering decisions.
A small, high-performing team shipping steadily, with low tech debt and transparent tech costs.
ALOHAS recognized as a digitally mature, data-driven, AI-native integral brand.
