Chief Technology Officer (CTO)
Location: REMOTE / USA
Job ID: 481577
We are working with this really kick-ass commerce technology company that offers everything from Billing, Payments, Online store, Order management, direct connection into commerce, content, and search all wrapped up in a subscription solution. They are headquartered out of San Francisco, CA.
They are here to simplify eCommerce subscription management and recurring billing to help brands build lasting bonds with customers.
They have built a fantastic culture where their people love the work they do. Their core values: Customer First, Own It, Stronger Together, and Change the Game, are in everything they do and are used to provide creative solutions to their valued customers and partners. They are only looking to speak with candidates that come directly from an eCommerce platform provider and or from a subscription billing platform company. If you don't have this in your resume, I am sorry but you are not a fit at this time. You really need to come from the space, have an understanding of it and where it's headed. Building an eCommerce site will not qualify you for this role. You need to have worked on the vendor side of the business for a company that sells eCommerce platforms.
