The role

We are Merlin Digital Partner! A leading consultancy in IT & digital talent acquisition with more than 10 years of experience. We have scaled and collaborated with major industry leaders such as Impress, Glovo, Banc Sabadell, Duracell, or Kamleon, among others.

Focused on humanizing and streamlining selection processes, our goal is to transform companies through the incorporation of the best talent. We are characterized by immersing ourselves deeply in the reality of each of our partners, understanding their needs, but also their essence.

One of our partners, a company based in Barcelona, is looking for a CTO - CPO to lead product and technology from a strategic, management, and business vision.

What you'll do

As CTO - CPO, reporting directly to General Management and with your own team, you will convert business needs into an executable roadmap, direct the development team, and guarantee the solidity, security, and continuity of production systems. Your mission will be to evolve the technological platform that supports the company's operation, using proprietary technology as a competitive advantage, and preparing the ground for the company to become a benchmark.

Lead the full cycle of functionality definition, in continuous contact with operations and customers.

Leverage AI tools to prototype and channel validated prototypes toward the development team.

Lead the development team and internalize it.

Evolve the management-backoffice platform: integration of new operations, refactoring, and technical debt control.

Guarantee the cloud infrastructure, tested backups, access, and a continuity plan.

Ensure that technical and procedural documentation exists and that no critical component depends on a single person.

Drive reliable business analytics and dashboards.

What we need

Desirable: experience in e-commerce or mobility, and having worked in a startup or an exponentially growing company.

Why join this project

You will be responsible for the technology and product of a company with real large-scale operations.

You will have a direct impact on strategic decisions from an early stage.

Hybrid model (3 days office)
