System Architect with Java experience

Do you want to grow with us and become a part of an exciting journey where you have the opportunity to grow both as a person and in your profession?

We offer you a fun and alternating job in an organization that is characterized by believing in people and their abilities. As a System Architect you will be a part of an environment where you will contribute and have influence.

We are looking for a System Architect with a background in Java development to our Castor team. Castor is our PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) system that supports the whole chain from idea to final product and it is a central business system. We support the ability to create fashion for the future and to convert creative ideas into irresistible products. Everything we do is seen and counted. Castor is a Java based system and a mix of "regular" Java development and customizing a 3rd party Java based platform.

You will be a part of an area with almost 50 members, which is divided in three agile scrum teams focusing on project implementation, maintenance and business improvements. You will work closely together with a competent team of other system architects, requirement analysts, developers and testers.

As a System Architect you will lead the development process forward and coach a team of developers. Therefore your leadership qualities and coaching mindset will be important success factors and we especially value your communicative and people management skills. You also have to be pragmatic and can relate to a non-perfect world. You will be responsible of driving the architectural work, analyzing business needs and visions, and positioning the solutions in the system landscape.

Your responsibilities

- Lead the development process forward and ensure the team's technical delivery
- Coaching a team of 5-7 developers, both local and offshore

- Verify design and solutions from an architectural perspective

Your skills

Just like everyone at H&M, we believe you are a social, open, communicative, sales-minded and ambitious team player full of drive and optimism.

You are either an experienced developer looking for the next step or you are already working as a system architect and have the glow for development.

And your skills include:

- Background as a Java developer, and with the advantage had a lead developer role
- At least 4-6 years of development experience
- HTML 5
- Experience on JavaScript frameworks
- Java EE knowledge, experience in organizing backend logic
- Experience on Spring Framework and Struts Framework
- Knowledge on Apache Commons Libraries
- Good ability to express yourself in speech and writing in both English and Swedish
