Overview 
 Join to apply for the Software Architect (Contractor) – Composable Commerce & Event-Driven Design role at CobbleWeb - The Online Marketplace Experts.
 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 us 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 our team and for external developers.
