About the Company

INFOBUS.EU is a European B2C platform for online bus ticket sales, serving millions of users annually. In 2026, we are launching a full-scale technology transformation — including a complete architecture rebuild, tech stack migration, and process overhaul.

We are looking for a hands-on CTO to lead a full-scale transformation of our product and engineering organization.

Your mission is to:

• decouple and evolve the architecture,
• rebuild engineering execution,
• and enable fast growth of our B2C platform,
  while maintaining stability of the existing B2B system.

This is a high-impact transformation role, requiring both strong technical depth and operational leadership.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Product & Architecture Transformation

• Define and execute a practical, step-by-step strategy to evolve a legacy monolith
• Lead the decoupling of B2C and B2B domains, prioritizing B2C growth
• Introduce modern architectural approaches (modularization, microservices where appropriate, event-driven design)
• Make hands-on architectural decisions, balancing speed, risk, and scalability

2. Engineering Execution & Delivery

• Establish clear development processes focused on speed, focus, and delivery
• Reduce chaos by introducing prioritization, WIP limits, and a transparent roadmap
• Improve time-to-market and release frequency
• Ensure engineering efforts translate into business outcomes

3. Team Rebuild & Leadership

• Assess current team capabilities and make hard performance decisions
• Rebuild and strengthen the engineering team (20+ people)
• Implement structured onboarding and clear ownership
• Build a culture of accountability, execution, and continuous improvement

4. Product & Business Alignment

• Work closely with Product, Marketing, and Analytics teams
• Ensure tech decisions support conversion, UX, and growth metrics
• Align engineering priorities with business goals and revenue impact

5. Platform Stability (B2B)

• Maintain stability and reliability of the existing B2B system
• Avoid risky “big bang” rewrites
• Ensure continuity while transformation is in progress

Requirements:

Must-have:

• Proven experience as CTO / Head of Engineering in a product company
• Experience leading technology transformation of legacy systems
• Hands-on experience evolving monolith → scalable architecture

• Experience managing and rebuilding engineering teams (20+ people)
• Track record of improving delivery speed and team performance
• Strong product mindset (UX, conversion, growth metrics)

Critical (we will assess this carefully):

• Ability to make hands-on architectural decisions
• Deep understanding of system design, scalability, and trade-offs
• Experience fixing underperforming teams
• Ability to reduce chaos and introduce focus in engineering workflows
• Strong execution mindset in fast-changing environments

Nice-to-have:

• Experience in eCommerce / TravelTech / marketplaces
• Experience with search systems (Elasticsearch, etc.)
• Experience with ML/AI (personalization, recommendations)

What We Offer:

• Competitive compensation (base + KPI)
• Full ownership of technology and engineering transformation
• Remote-first work model
• Direct impact on a product used by millions of users
• Strong support from top management
