Fractional Tech Executive

We are hiring a fractional tech executive / project manager to own and grow the technical stack across a small portfolio of companies. This role will start as a project lead focused on an existing customer‑portal platform responsible for maintaining customer portals and integrations, then scale into a broader CTO‑like role as needs grow. Initial commitment is around 10–15 hours/week, rising to about 20 hours/week and potentially full‑time later this year. Primary early projects include a customer portal (donation tracking, credits, gift card redemption) and a streaming/integration project (API integrations and ad metrics). Responsibilities Own day‑to‑day maintenance, troubleshooting, and feature rollouts for portal applications and customer‑facing systems. Implement and extend customer portal features (donation tracking, user credits, gift card redemption, order/resale flows). Design and build API integrations for streaming and analytics platforms (ingestion of ad metrics and advertiser/merchant workflows). Act as the central technical coordinator across companies: prioritize work, manage contractors, and ensure cross‑product consistency. Write and maintain production‑ready code and backend integrations as needed (including Java/web APIs or equivalent). Define and execute deployment, monitoring, and QA processes to reduce repeat issues and improve reliability. Produce clear technical documentation, onboarding materials, and handoffs for contractors and internal stakeholders. Be available for regular status syncs and occasional in‑person meetings in California as required. Qualifications Proven hands‑on experience with customer‑portal platforms or similar tools (required). Strong traditional development skills and API integration experience; Java and web APIs preferred. Track record building customer portals, payments/gift card flows, or donation/credit systems. Experience integrating with third‑party streaming or ad‑tech platforms is a strong plus. Comfortable operating as a fractional/part‑time technical lead and scaling into broader responsibilities. Excellent cross‑functional communication, contractor/vendor management, and documentation skills. Self‑directed, reliable, and solutions‑oriented; strong culture fit and ability to move quickly are critical. Location flexible (remote acceptable); preference for candidates able to attend occasional meetings in California. #J-18808-Ljbffr Gofractional
