About Catch Creation & Muddy Mat

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

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.
