Technology & AI | E-Commerce | AI Agents | Engineering & Automations

The Opportunity Ergode builds and scales digital-first businesses across global marketplaces. We have made a clear strategic choice: Technology, Artificial Intelligence and automation will sit at the core of how we scale revenue, improve margins and increase productivity. We are looking for a hands-on Technology & AI leader who can convert business problems into working, adopted systems — quickly. This is not a traditional IT leadership role. You will own the intersection of business, engineering, AI, automation, data, integrations, infrastructure and security . You will work directly with the CEO and business leaders to identify high-impact problems, decide what should be built internally versus externally, and ensure solutions move from idea → production → adoption → measurable business outcome. Some of our systems need modernization. Some need stronger ownership and architecture. Others need to be replaced or rebuilt. We would rather be transparent about that upfront. We need someone who enjoys that challenge. What You Will Own 1. Technology Execution & Delivery You will create an execution culture where technology commitments translate into shipped outcomes. You will: Run Technology on clear weekly priorities with an owner, deadline and measurable outcome for every major initiative. Establish strong engineering execution across product development, integrations, automation, infrastructure and AI. Track commitments through completion — not merely development activity. Identify blockers early and make fast build/buy/outsource decisions. Hold internal teams and external partners accountable for scope, timelines, quality and business outcomes. Build clear visibility from: Business Requirement → Development → Production → Adoption → Business Impact Develop engineers and technology managers into stronger owners and future leaders. Create sufficient documentation, architecture standards and ownership so no critical system depends on one employee or vendor. Success means: Leadership should never need to repeatedly ask, “Where is this project stuck and who owns it?” 2. Business-First Technology Strategy Technology exists to improve business outcomes. You will: Deeply understand how Ergode makes money across marketplaces, brands and channels. Understand marketplace fees, margins, inventory, pricing, advertising, catalogue operations, fulfilment and customer experience. Own the Technology & AI roadmap based on impact on: Revenue Gross margin Productivity Operating cost Speed Customer/vendor experience Work directly with business heads to identify operational bottlenecks. Challenge processes that should be eliminated or simplified before automating them. Translate business problems into scalable technology solutions. Own technology economics including cloud, AI/token usage, software licences, development and outsourcing. Report technology performance to leadership in…
