Guidewire Integration Architect

Overview

Lead end-to-end solution architecture for complex InsuranceSuite (PolicyCenter, BillingCenter, ClaimCenter) cloud implementations for strategic P&C insurer customer programs, primarily on Guidewire Cloud.

What you'll do

• Serve as the lead architect for complex InsuranceSuite implementations, defining target architectures and integration patterns across PolicyCenter, BillingCenter, ClaimCenter, and surrounding systems.
• Translate business and product requirements into cloud-ready, scalable, and upgrade-safe solution designs, balancing configuration, integration, and extension options on Guidewire Cloud.
• Provide design authority on programs (including SI-led deliveries), ensuring alignment to Guidewire best practices, reference architectures, and Professional Services priorities to reduce implementation effort and time and improve delivery quality.
• Partner with customer architects, product teams, and delivery leads to embed AI- and automation-enabled methods, accelerators, and repeatable offerings throughout the implementation lifecycle, improving productivity and time-to-value.
• Review and govern critical design decisions, code approaches, performance considerations, and data models to ensure quality, resilience, security, and operational efficiency in production.
• Mentor and coach consultants and engineers on InsuranceSuite architecture, cloud patterns, and modern engineering practices, helping build AI-enabled delivery capability across Professional Services.
• Contribute to the evolution of standard assets, templates, and methodologies that can be reused across customers to scale services-led innovation, support revenue growth, and improve margins.

What you'll need

• Demonstrated ability to embrace AI and apply it to your current role as well as data-driven insights to drive innovation, productivity, and continuous improvement.
• Extensive hands-on experience architecting and delivering Guidewire PolicyCenter, BillingCenter, and/or ClaimCenter solutions, ideally including cloud implementations and large-scale transformations.
• Strong background in enterprise application architecture, integration patterns (REST APIs, messaging, batch), and secure, scalable design in a SaaS or cloud environment.
• Ability to lead technical direction on large, multi-stakeholder programs, influencing decisions through clear reasoning, structured trade-offs, and collaborative problem solving.
• Proficiency in core technologies used with InsuranceSuite (e.g., Java, Gosu, relational databases, integration middleware) and familiarity with modern CI/CD and DevOps practices.
• Proven track record of mentoring and upskilling engineers or consultants, with an emphasis on quality, automation, engineering excellence, and continuous improvement.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, able to convey complex technical concepts in accessible language to technical and non-technical audiences.

Nice to have

• 10+ years of overall software/solution architecture experience, including significant time on Guidewire implementations; prior experience in a consulting or Professional Services context is a plus.
• Experience applying AI- or automation-based accelerators (e.g., code generation, intelligent testing tools, migration scripts) within delivery projects to reduce effort and improve reliability.
• Knowledge of P&C insurance domains (policy administration, billing, claims) and related industry standards or regulatory environments.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
