About Catch Creation & Muddy Mat
Catch Creation is a global e-commerce company that creates, grows, and manages online brands. Our flagship brand, Muddy Mat, is a 9-figure revenue, bootstrapped, profitable DTC pet products company the #1 selling indoor mat for cleaning dog paws, loved by millions of pet owners across America.
We operate across TV, DTC e-commerce, Amazon, TikTok Shop, and expanding retail partnerships with Home Depot, Costco, and Walmart. Our portfolio also includes Cloud K9 (anti-anxiety dog beds) and Wizz (pet stain remover). We are remote-first, lean, and move fast.
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.
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.
