Location: On-Site in North Dallas (Galleria Towers) and/or Farmers Branch, TX

Position Type: Full-Time

Compensation: Based on Experience - Salary + Equity + Bonus

Position Overview

As Chief Technology Officer, you will lead the architecture, development, and execution of GrabAGun’s end-to-end technology ecosystem across eCommerce, internal operations, and the PEW Logistics platform.

This is a hands-on, builder-first role for a technical leader who has scaled systems inside high-performance environments and can translate modern technologies, including AI-enabled development workflows, into real business outcomes.

You will partner closely with executive leadership to drive innovation, increase operational efficiency, and build a scalable, secure, and compliant technology foundation that supports rapid growth.

What You’ll Own

• Define and execute the company’s technology strategy and roadmap across eCommerce, logistics, and internal systems

• Lead and mentor a high-performing engineering organization, establishing best practices in architecture, development, and deployment

• Act as a hands-on technical leader, contributing to system design, code reviews, and critical builds when needed

• Drive the evolution of a scalable, high-availability eCommerce platform capable of handling high transaction volume

• Oversee development and expansion of PEW Logistics, supporting manufacturers and compliance-heavy workflows

• Build and optimize AI-driven development workflows, leveraging modern tools to accelerate engineering velocity and reduce costs

• Partner with Finance, HR, and Operations to automate and streamline internal systems and workflows

• Ensure security, compliance, and audit readiness across all systems (SEC, ATF/FBI considerations where applicable)

• Establish robust data architecture and reporting infrastructure to support real-time decision-making

• Evaluate, implement, and manage infrastructure, cloud environments, and IT systems

What You Bring

• Proven experience as a senior technical leader (CTO, VP Engineering, or similar) in a high-growth or complex environment

• Strong background as a hands-on software engineer, with the ability to go deep technically when needed

• Experience working within or alongside large-scale technology organizations (“Big Tech” or equivalent environments)

• Demonstrated success leading and scaling engineering teams and distributed systems

• Deep understanding of modern software architecture, APIs, and high-performance web applications

• Strong working knowledge of cloud infrastructure, DevOps, and system reliability

• Practical experience leveraging AI tools (e.g., code generation, copilots, workflow automation) to improve development efficiency

Bonus If You Have

• Experience with eCommerce platforms and/or marketplace systems (strongly preferred)

• Exposure to logistics, supply chain, or SaaS platforms (highly preferred)

• Background in IT infrastructure and systems management, not just software engineering

• Experience operating in regulated or compliance-heavy environments is a major plus

What Success Looks Like

• Engineering velocity increases through AI-assisted development and improved workflows

• Core platforms (eCommerce + PEW Logistics) become more scalable, reliable, and feature-rich

• Internal systems across HR, Finance, and Operations become automated, integrated, and audit-ready

• Technology becomes a strategic differentiator, not just a support function

• The organization is equipped with a future-proof, secure, and data-driven tech stack

Why This Role Matters

This role is critical to transforming technology into a core driver of growth, efficiency, and competitive advantage. You will directly influence how the business scales, how decisions are made, and how customers and partners experience the platform.
