  "Job_Description": "1. Company Background An Australian-based health and wellness e-commerce company specializing in peptide and beauty-focused supplements. The company is now in a critical scaling phase, actively removing manual processes and expanding across multiple specialized departments to sustain momentum and meet surging demand. 2. Why We Are Hiring With rapid growth has come rapid technical complexity. While our operational and marketing teams are scaling, our technical infrastructure requires a dedicated, visionary leader. The Co-Founders are currently managing highlevel strategy, investor relations, and brand growth, while our technical needs have been handled on an ad hoc basis by a generalist. This fragmented, reactive approach to technology is no longer sustainable and we are now replacing that function with a true technical leader. We need a senior technical leader who can assume full ownership of the company’s technology stack, digital products, and internal tools. This person will act as the brand’s CTO, providing the autonomy, speed, and agency required to build and iterate rapidly. They will be the central pillar of our technological ecosystem, allowing the Co- Founders to focus on scaling the business while trusting that our digital infrastructure is robust, innovative, and built for the future. 3. Role Title and Positioning Head of Tech / CTO While the foundational mechanics of this role involve comprehensive technical management and development, the successful candidate will essentially function as the company’s Chief Technology Officer. We have deliberately chosen the title “Head of Tech / CTO” because it accurately reflects the seniority, autonomy, and scope of the position while remaining appropriate for a high-growth e-commerce brand at our stage. This title carries the prestige and authority necessary for the candidate to command respect across all departments, and it signals to the individual that they are a core member of the company’s leadership team, not simply a senior developer. The Head of Tech reports directly to the Co-Founders and holds authority over all technical staff, architecture decisions, and development workflows. 4. Current Team Structure The Head of Tech will be responsible for managing, coordinating, and collaborating with the following team members across active departments. Tasks that will progressively be delegated to the Head of Tech, including Shopify development briefing, custom app architecture, AI tool integration, and technical vendor negotiations. This role also absorbs and elevates the responsibilities previously handled by our Ad Hoc Tech Specialist, including ongoing website quality checks, membership and recurring order fixes, and general technical troubleshooting. 5. Scope of Work and Key Responsibilities The Head of Tech will assume full responsibility for the following areas, organized by functional domain. 5.1 End-to-End Technical Architecture and Development The candidate must demonstrate meticulous attention to detail and the ability to manage the complete lifespan of any technical project, from inception and architecture planning through execution, quality assurance, and final deployment. They will oversee our core e-commerce platform (Shopify/WordPress) and ensure seamless integration across all systems. Every active technical workstream falls within this person’s purview. 5.2 AI Integration and “Vibe Coding” We are an AI-forward company. The ideal candidate must be highly proficient in leveraging modern AI coding assistants and “vibe coding” methodologies to rapidly prototype, build, and deploy internal dashboards, custom applications, and automation tools. They must understand how to use AI to multiply their output, turning complex requirements into functional software with unprecedented speed. 5.3 Cross-Departmental Technical Enablement This role requires the daily assessment of how technology can solve operational bottlenecks across all departments. The Head of Tech must ensure that Customer Experience, Media, and Design teams have the technical resources, automated workflows, and custom tools they need to execute at a high standard. They will build the dashboards that give our team real-time visibility into business metrics. 5.4 Proactive Problem Solving and Risk Mitigation This is not a reactive role. The ideal candidate must consistently think ahead, identifying potential technical roadblocks, security vulnerabilities, or scaling issues before they materialize. When a problem arises, the expectation is that this person will have already considered the root cause and recommended solutions before approaching the Co-Founders. The ability to think on one’s feet and maintain technical momentum under pressure is non-negotiable. 5.5 Technical Leadership and Vendor Management The Head of Tech must possess stellar interpersonal skills to manage external technical vendors, freelance developers, and internal specialists. They will set the engineering standards, enforce code quality, and ensure that all technical contributors are aligned with the company’s mission and architectural vision. 5.6 Process Improvement and Systematization As the company continues to scale, the Head of Tech will play a central role in identifying manual processes that can be systematized or automated. This person must have a continuous improvement mindset, always looking for ways to increase efficiency, reduce errors, and build scalable technical frameworks that support the company’s growth trajectory. 6. Qualifications and Experience Requirement Details Professional Background Demonstrated experience in senior engineering, technical leadership, or CTO roles. A background in “Big Tech” or high-growth, fast-paced startup environments is strongly preferred. Core Technical Stack Deep expertise in WordPress architecture, custom theme/plugin development, and seamless integration with e-commerce platforms (Shopify). AI & Rapid Prototyping Proven ability to utilize AI coding tools (e.g., Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Lovable, v0) for “vibe coding”—rapidly building and iterating on web apps, internal dashboards, and MVPs. Autonomy and Agency Exceptional ability to operate independently. Must act as an owner, taking full agency over the technical direction of the brand without requiring micro-management. Speed and Iteration A bias for action. The candidate must be comfortable shipping code quickly, iterating based on feedback, and prioritizing speed to market over absolute perfection when appropriate. Communication Skills Exceptional written and verbal communication. Must be able to translate complex technical concepts into clear executive-level reporting for the Co-Founders. 7. Tools and Platforms The Head of Tech should be highly proficient in, or capable of quickly mastering, the following tools and platforms which form the core ecosystem. Tool / Platform Purpose WordPress / WooCommerce Core content management and potential e-commerce architecture. Shopify Primary e-commerce platform and order management system. AI Coding Assistants Tools like Cursor, Lovable, or v0 for rapid application and dashboard development (“vibe coding”). Trello / Jira Project and task management for technical sprints and departmental to-do lists. Slack Daily team communication and executive updates. GitHub / GitLab Version control, code repository management, and CI/CD pipelines. 8. Cultural Fit and Personality Profile Beyond professional qualifications, the cultural alignment of this candidate is of paramount importance. We are looking for a very specific type of person, and the following characteristics are considered essential, not merely desirable. Charismatic and Driven. This person must naturally command a room (or a virtual meeting). They should be the kind of individual who energizes those around them, inspires confidence, and leads by example with relentless drive and genuine enthusiasm for technology. Hard-Working with Grit. The ideal candidate thrives under pressure, embraces technical challenges, and possesses the resilience to push through difficult debugging sessions or system migrations without losing momentum or morale. Values Loyalty and Family. We are building more than a company; we are building a team that operates like a family. The right candidate deeply values loyalty, both giving and receiving it, and understands that the relationships built within this organization are long-term investments. Ambitious and Life-Driven. We want someone who is actively building a big life for themselves, someone with personal goals, aspirations, and a hunger to grow. This ambition should extend beyond the professional sphere. We genuinely appreciate candidates who maintain active extracurricular interests, hobbies, and passions outside of work. Proactive Owner, Not a Passive Coder. This person does not wait for a Jira ticket to be assigned. They see what needs to be built, they take ownership of the architecture, and they execute. They treat the digital infrastructure of the business as if it were their own. 9. Reporting Structure and Authority The Head of Tech / CTO reports directly to the Co-Founders. All technical staff, external developers, and IT vendors report to the Head of Tech for dayto-day task management, code review, and architectural guidance. The Co-Founders will engage with the Head of Tech primarily to set strategic business priorities, review technical roadmaps, and push on key product launch deadlines. 10. Compensation and Work Schedule The work schedule must align with Australian business hours (AEST/AEDT) to facilitate seamless daily communication with the Executive Team and effective real-time management of the technical infrastructure. Given the seniority and scope of this role, we anticipate full-time hours and are prepared to offer compensation that reflects the critical importance of this position. Specific compensation details are to be discussed directly with Virtual Colleague based on candidate experience and qualifications.",
