[Hiring] Fractional Chief Technology Officer @Catch Creation, LLC
Role Description
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
Qualifications
• 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.
How to Apply
Please apply with your resume and a brief note covering:
• Your relevant e-commerce / Shopify experience
• Examples of engineering teams you’ve led
• Your availability and preferred engagement structure (hours/week, start date)
• Your rate or compensation expectations
We move quickly. Strong candidates will be contacted within a few business days.
