The Opportunity We are looking for a hands-on, entrepreneurial Fractional CTO to provide senior technology leadership during a critical growth phase. You will work directly with the Founder/CEO and leadership team to own our technology strategy, lead our engineering team, and ensure our platforms can scale with the business. This is not a consulting role where you write recommendations and disappear. We need someone who will embed with the team, make decisions, and drive execution. What You'll Do Technology Strategy & Architecture • Own and execute our overall technology roadmap and platform architecture • Evaluate and recommend technology solutions that support multi-channel e-commerce growth • Ensure scalability, security, and reliability across all tech systems • Represent technology in leadership and strategic planning meetings Team Leadership • Lead, mentor, and manage our existing engineering team day-to-day • Set clear priorities, KPIs, and delivery expectations for the tech team • Identify gaps and make hiring recommendations where needed • Foster a culture of ownership, speed, and quality Platform & Systems • Oversee and optimize our Shopify multi-store setup, including integrations, apps, and checkout flows • Manage integrations with order tracking tools, upsell/downsell sequences, and third-party platforms • Audit existing tech infrastructure and implement improvements for performance and reliability • Ensure our systems support Amazon, TikTok Shop, DRTV, and retail channel operations What We're Looking For Required • Proven experience as CTO, VP Engineering, or equivalent senior tech leadership role • Deep hands-on experience with Shopify and e-commerce tech stacks at scale • Track record of building, leading, and scaling engineering teams • Experience with multi-channel e-commerce: DTC, Amazon, TikTok Shop, or retail integrations • Strong communicator who can translate between technical and business teams • Based in the USA or Canada Preferred • Prior fractional or advisory CTO experience • Familiarity with DRTV (direct response television) tech and operations • Experience at a high-growth DTC brand ($50M–$500M revenue range) • Exposure to 3PL/fulfillment tech and supply chain systems Who You Are You've done this before you know how to step into a fast-moving company, get up to speed quickly, and lead without needing hand-holding. You think like an operator, not just an architect. You're equally comfortable reviewing a pull request and presenting a 12-month technology roadmap to the CEO. You don't hide behind process. You ship. You own outcomes. And you know that in a lean company, your impact is visible and immediate. TYPE: Fractional / Contract | DURATION: 6–12 Months | LOCATION: Remote — USA/Canada | HOURS/WEEK: 10–20 hrs (flexible)
