Job description

CTeBS, a subsidiary of Classic Fashion, is a leading software solution provider to the apparel manufacturing industry globally. Our suite of enterprise-level products, including our flagship Trendz CMP, leverages cutting-edge technology to enhance productivity, quality, and efficiency, ensuring our clients achieve unparalleled growth and success.

Job Summary

We are looking for a hands-on Software Architect who is passionate about building scalable, high-performance software. In this role, you will serve as the bridge between high-level architectural vision and low-level code implementation.

Unlike a pure manager, you will remain deeply involved in the code. You will own the technical design for major features, enforce coding standards, and solve the complex problems that stall development teams. You will work closely with the Associate Technical Manager (who handles delivery/metrics) while you ensure the technical integrity of the solution.

Responsibilities

• Take full architectural responsibility for specific products or core modules (e.g., the Production Planning Engine or Payroll Calculation System).
• Translate business requirements into technical design documents (TDDs), defining data models, API contracts, and class structures before coding begins.
• Proactively identify "spaghetti code" or technical debt in our legacy Java/MSSQL systems and design safe refactoring plans to modernize them.
• You are the final approver for critical code merges. You do not just check for bugs; you check for maintainability, security, and scalability.
• Deep dive into database execution plans (Oracle/MSSQL) and application logic to optimize slow queries and reduce latency.
• Enforce consistent design patterns (Singleton, Factory, Observer, etc.) across the development team to ensure the codebase remains uniform.
• Act as the "Problem Solver in Chief" for the development team. When a developer is stuck on a complex logic issue, you provide the solution.
• Mentor Senior Developers on how to write clean, efficient, and testable code. Conduct technical workshops on new frameworks or best practices.

Qualifications

• 8 to 12 years of software development experience, with at least 2+ years in a Software Architect Role.
• Expert in Java/J2EE (Spring, Hibernate, Multithreading).
• Strong proficiency in MSSQL or Oracle (Stored Procedures, Indexing, Partitioning).
• Solid understanding of Angular component architecture (even if you don't write CSS daily, you understand the data flow).
• Strong grasp of Object-Oriented Design (OOD), Microservices patterns, and RESTful API design.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins/GitLab), Docker, and code quality tools (SonarQube).
• Proven ability to debug complex production issues (memory leaks, thread deadlocks) under pressure.
