Technology Officer Jobs (NOW HIRING)

At MIRA Safety, our mission is simple: uncompromising protection.

We are a marketing and distribution company specializing in high-quality personal protective equipment, including professional-grade gas masks, filters, hazmat suits, and survival gear designed to protect against chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats.

From military and law enforcement professionals to first responders, agricultural workers, and everyday citizens, we design durable, reliable equipment with one goal in mind: saving lives.

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:

1. Modern AI and AI agent development
2. Shopify and high-performance e-commerce
3. 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.

The CTO will 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

A major priority will be reducing fragmented systems and creating a cohesive technology architecture across MIRA Safety:

Shopify → ERP → CRM → Inventory → Fulfillment → Customer Service → Marketing → Analytics → AI

The goal is to establish a reliable data and automation layer so information moves automatically and intelligently between systems.

Deep, practical AI expertise is a core requirement for this position.

We are not looking for someone whose AI experience consists primarily of using ChatGPT.

The CTO should understand how to design, build, deploy, and maintain 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.

The CTO will 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.

The objective is not simply to purchase more AI software. The CTO will be expected to build an integrated AI infrastructure in which agents, software, APIs, company data, and employees work together to dramatically increase organizational productivity.

MIRA Safety operates a significant direct-to-consumer e-commerce business, making deep Shopify expertise essential.

The CTO should have 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.

The CTO will ensure MIRA Safety's e-commerce technology is fast, reliable, secure, scalable, highly automated, and optimized for revenue growth.

The CTO must have a 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.

This person does not need to personally write every line of MIRA Safety's code. However, the CTO must be capable of architecting systems, reviewing code, challenging engineering decisions, diagnosing technical problems, and personally building prototypes or production systems when necessary.

We want a CTO who can still build.

The CTO will:

• 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

The ideal candidate will have:

• 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
