Overview Software Architect (Contractor) – Composable Commerce & Event-Driven Design. This position is 100% remote, with flexible daily/weekly hours (part-time). We’re looking for a Software Architect contractor with strong expertise in composable modular architecture and event-driven design to support the next evolution of Sharewise: our marketplace framework that helps entrepreneurs and small businesses launch world-class platforms faster. This isn’t a “keep the lights on” role. You’ll be shaping the backbone of a framework designed to democratise marketplace creation and empower communities. Sharewise is built on 12 years of CobbleWeb’s experience delivering high-performance marketplaces, and we’re now evolving it into a platform that is modular, event-driven, and future-ready. Responsibilities Audit and strengthen module isolation (reduce hidden coupling). Push toward a stronger event-driven architecture (pub/sub over direct calls). Lay the foundation for customisation : moving from fragile inheritance overrides toward clear extension hooks, composition patterns, and well-documented integration points. This is about more than code style: it’s about making Sharewise a framework where developers can confidently adapt and extend features without breaking core stability. Make the platform easier to scale, extend, and maintain, both for internal teams and external developers.
