ALOHAS isn't just a footwear brand — we're proving fashion can be made differently. Every pair is produced on demand, so we only make what's truly wanted, cutting overproduction and waste out of the equation from day one.
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! 😀
At ALOHAS we're building an AI-native company. 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.
We care far more about how you think, build and lead than about your title. If you've been a Senior Engineering Manager, Engineering Director, or Staff/Principal Engineer at a high-growth product company (marketplace, SaaS, e-commerce) and you're ready to own technology end to end and make it yours — this is for you.
It's a high-ownership role: you set the direction and you're accountable for delivery, leading a lean internal team plus our AI Software Crafter and specialized partners. You'll work hand in hand with the CEO and COO (who builds business logic hands-on with AI tools) and keep ALOHAS at the frontier of an AI-native way of operating.

The ALOHAS way is about bringing sustainable production and responsible shopping to the forefront of the fashion industry.
With our on-demand model, we hold off on production until shoppers have told us what they really want. This way, we minimize overproduction in fashion together.
The history:
The brand was founded in 2015 in Honolulu, Hawaii by current CEO, Alejandro Porras. He was inspired by seeing locals react to his Avarcas, a popular type of sandal from Menorca, Spain, known for their simplicity and ease of use. He decided to talk business in Hawaii and began expanding not only his product offering but also his business sights.
Back to basics and looking to put a spin on the traditional Espadrille, our creative team works from our headquarters in Barcelona to design finely crafted shoes for rain or shine seasons, all produced by trusted artisans in nearby production facilities.
The brand has already strategically positioned itself in Moda Operandi, La Rinascente, Zalando, Revolve, The Iconic and El Corte Inglés, thus covering some of the largest and most exclusive online points of sale across different continents.
ALOHAS is well known for many of its IG collaborations and registered a 1.1 million turnover in 2018 (without investors). This was driven by its ongoing investments into logistics infrastructure and product diversification together with an ever growing online presence.
Life at ALOHAS is dreamy while still demanding. It is a place where we take pride in learning from one another. We love what we do. We also make mistakes, and that helps us improve day after day.
