Chief Technology Officer (CTO)

Mira Safety • Cedar Park, TX

5d • Onsite

About The Position

MIRA Safety is seeking an exceptional Chief Technology Officer (CTO) to lead the company's technology, artificial intelligence, software engineering, automation, and e-commerce infrastructure. This is not a traditional CTO role centered primarily on managing an engineering department. We are looking for a highly technical, hands-on builder and technology leader who understands how modern AI can fundamentally change the way a company operates, sells, serves customers, and scales. The ideal candidate combines three critical areas of expertise: Modern AI and AI agent development, Shopify and high-performance e-commerce, and Full-stack software engineering and systems architecture. The CTO will work directly with executive leadership to make MIRA Safety an AI-first, highly automated, technology-driven organization.

Requirements

• Deep, practical AI expertise is a core requirement for this position. Experience designing, building, deploying, and maintaining production AI systems, including AI agents and agentic workflows, LLM APIs, tool/function calling, MCP integrations, RAG, vector databases, structured outputs, prompt and context engineering, AI memory systems, model evaluation, security, and data governance.
• Strong technical experience with Shopify / Shopify Plus, Liquid, Shopify APIs, GraphQL, custom Shopify applications, Shopify Functions, checkout extensibility, webhooks, theme development, headless commerce, ERP and CRM integrations, fulfillment systems, analytics, conversion-rate optimization, Core Web Vitals, and e-commerce security.
• Strong software engineering foundation, with experience across technologies such as JavaScript / TypeScript, Python, Node.js, React / Next.js, SQL, REST APIs, GraphQL, relational and NoSQL databases, Git / GitHub, CI/CD, and cloud infrastructure.
• Significant software engineering and technology leadership experience.
• Hands-on experience building AI-powered applications and agentic systems.
• Strong understanding of LLM architecture and APIs.
• Deep Shopify and e-commerce technical knowledge.
• Full-stack development and systems architecture experience.
• Experience designing APIs, integrations, and scalable software systems.
• Experience with cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, and data governance.
• Experience managing developers and technical vendors.
• Excellent business judgment and communication skills.
• Ability to operate in a fast-moving entrepreneurial environment.
• A builder-CTO rather than a purely managerial CTO—someone who naturally asks: Can we automate this? Can an AI agent do this? Why aren't these systems connected? Can we build this better ourselves? How does this technology increase revenue, reduce costs, improve the customer experience, or make the company faster?

Responsibilities

• Own MIRA Safety's overall technology strategy and execution, including: Artificial intelligence strategy, AI agents, and autonomous workflows, Shopify and e-commerce technology, Website, application, and internal software development, Business-process automation, APIs and third-party integrations, Data infrastructure and analytics, Cloud infrastructure and DevOps, Cybersecurity and data protection, Engineering architecture and standards, Technical hiring, team leadership, and technology partners.
• Reduce fragmented systems and create a cohesive technology architecture across MIRA Safety: Shopify → ERP → CRM → Inventory → Fulfillment → Customer Service → Marketing → Analytics → AI.
• Establish a reliable data and automation layer so information moves automatically and intelligently between systems.
• Identify opportunities to deploy AI and automation across customer support, sales, marketing, e-commerce, content, SEO, data analysis, inventory, supply chain, internal knowledge management, and employee productivity.
• Build an integrated AI infrastructure in which agents, software, APIs, company data, and employees work together to dramatically increase organizational productivity.
• Ensure MIRA Safety's e-commerce technology is fast, reliable, secure, scalable, highly automated, and optimized for revenue growth.
• Architect systems, review code, challenge engineering decisions, diagnose technical problems, and personally build prototypes or production systems when necessary.
• Develop MIRA Safety's long-term technology and AI roadmap.
• Translate business objectives into technical architecture.
• Build and manage a high-performing technology team.
• Recruit and evaluate engineers, AI developers, and technical specialists.
• Establish engineering, testing, deployment, documentation, and monitoring standards.
• Evaluate SaaS platforms, AI vendors, agencies, and technology partners.
• Make intelligent build-vs-buy decisions.
• Establish technology budgets based on business ROI.
• Strengthen cybersecurity, access controls, and data protection.
• Communicate technical opportunities and risks clearly to executive leadership.
