Chief Technology Officer (CTO)

Future Fulfilment · South Yarra based · Hybrid · Full-time


Own the tech that powers a fast-scaling 3PL

Future Fulfilment is a third-party logistics business moving millions of orders for hundreds of ecommerce brands through warehouses across Victoria, Queensland and New South Wales, New Zealand & China. We're growing globally, fast. We're looking for a hands-on CTO to take the wheel of our technology, lead our developers, and build the platforms that carry us into the next stage of growth.

This is a department-head role with real ownership. You'll sit alongside the senior leadership team, translate where the business is going into where the tech needs to be, and make it happen with a small, sharp team.


What you'll do

  • Lead the tech team. Manage, mentor and grow a small team of developers, you will set the roadmap, the standards, and the pace.

  • Sit at the leadership table. Work shoulder-to-shoulder with the founders and senior leaders to turn commercial strategy into technical reality.

  • Own the integration layer. Keep our ecommerce and warehouse ecosystem talking with Shopify, WooCommerce, ShipHero, and the carrier and billing systems that sit around them.

  • Build with AI at the core. Put AI tools to work across operations, billing, customer success and internal workflows.

  • Automate everything worth automating. Design and scale workflow automation that removes manual handling across the business.

  • Drive the next iteration. Own the technical vision and the build that takes Future Fulfilment from where we are today to a global-scale platform.


The stack you'll lead

  • Ecommerce & marketplaces: Shopify, WooCommerce, and the wider ecommerce platform landscape

  • Fulfilment & WMS: ShipHero

  • Inventory / wholesale / ERP: Indigo8

  • Automation / iPaaS: n8n (workflow orchestration and integration pipelines)

  • Data & backend: Supabase / PostgreSQL, APIs and webhooks, cloud infrastructure

  • AI & developer tooling: Claude Code and agentic/LLM tooling, plus a genuine interest in what's next

  • Support & comms tooling: Intercom, ClickUp and internal systems that keep our teams connected

You don't need to have touched every one of these but you should be the kind of technologist who picks up a new platform quickly and knows how to make disparate systems work as one.


What you bring

  • Proven experience leading and managing a technical team, with the people skills to grow one

  • Strong hands-on background across integrations, automation and modern web/backend tech

  • Real, practical experience applying AI to solve business problems

  • Solid understanding of ecommerce and fulfilment platforms and how they connect end to end

  • The commercial instinct to work directly with senior leaders and make decisions that move the business, not just the codebase

  • Comfort operating in a young, entrepreneurial, move-fast environment, you're energised by ambiguity and growth, not slowed by it


The environment

  • Entrepreneurial and young at heart - we build fast, decide fast, and give people room to run

  • Hybrid working - Melbourne-based with flexibility to work from home, office & warehouses across the country

  • Extreme growth - a business scaling globally, with the challenges (and opportunities) that come with it

  • Genuine ownership - you'll be at the head of the department, shaping the function and owning technology across the company


Sound like you?

If you want to lead the technology of a business that's growing this fast and build the platforms and functions that take it worldwide we'd love to talk.
