E commerce Jobs in Chicago, IL

The Opportunity

FutureSight is seeking a Co-Founder & CEO to lead Omnex, an AI-native operating system for multi-channel ecommerce sellers, currently in build at our studio. This is a co-founder partnership with meaningful founder equity, not a salaried executive role.

Today's e-commerce businesses run on fragmented software and manual coordination. Sellers operating across Amazon, Shopify, eBay, Walmart, and other channels constantly switch between dashboards, reconcile conflicting data, and make hundreds of operational decisions every day across pricing, inventory, advertising, fulfillment, and customer support.

The opportunity sits within a global ecommerce market exceeding $1 trillion in annual GMV, where millions of sellers increasingly operate across multiple channels but lack any unified operational intelligence layer.

Market Context

Omnex replaces this fragmented workflow with an autonomous, multi-agent AI workforce. Instead of giving sellers another dashboard, Omnex continuously understands the business, reasons across every sales channel, and proactively executes operational decisions—from optimizing pricing and inventory to managing advertising, forecasting demand, and coordinating customer support. Every AI agent shares the same business context, learns from outcomes, and works together to optimize the business as a whole.
