Job DescriptionThe client is looking for a solution architect who carries both design and technical credibility on Guidewire.
- The architecture side is explicit: architecture files, impact assessment (coexistence, dependencies, performance, security), Archimate diagrams, compliance with the organization's standards.
- The technical side is just as explicit: Gosu, PCF configuration and Guidewire APIs, with responsibility for mentoring developers and setting best practices on the Guidewire cloud solution.
- The 5-year Guidewire requirement is labelled mandatory, which makes it the first filter.
- The mandate is fully remote and open to Canadian residents, including unilingual English speakers, which widens the pool beyond Québec.
Target candidate: a solution architect with at least 8 years in architecture or a related role, including 5 years on PolicyCenter, ClaimCenter or BillingCenter with hands-on Gosu development and PCF configuration. We are looking for someone who has already signed off solution architecture files and has already acted as the technical reference for a team of Guidewire developers.
