The client is looking for a senior Guidewire Tech Lead who can act as a full technical reference on the platform, combining Gosu and Java development, application architecture, and team mentoring, in the context of modernizing a property & casualty insurance program from an acquisition done in 2024. The recurring keywords (technical leadership, technical reference, application architecture, mentoring) point to a hybrid profile between a senior developer and an architect, rather than a pure delivery manager. The status of the mandate reopening and openness to candidates outside Quebec suggests a scarcity of Guidewire ACE profiles that combine the desired technical seniority and leadership experience. The profile should not be confused with a senior Guidewire developer without management scope, nor with a pure application architect without recent and active Gosu/Java development practice.
Requirements
- Minimum 8 years of relevant software development experience
- Minimum 6 years of experience on the Guidewire platform
- Minimum 3 years of experience in technical leadership, lead developer, or application architect roles
- Proficiency in Guidewire, Gosu, and Java
- Expertise in REST/SOAP services, XML, and JSON
- Knowledge of French
- Advanced English proficiency
- University degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related discipline
Preferred
- Proficiency in application architectures, integration, and cloud environments
- Knowledge of Agile, DevOps, CI/CD practices, and source code management tools
- ClaimCenter development experience dedicated to commercial lines
Asset
- Experience mentoring or coaching junior developers
- Experience with pricing model management
- Experience in ongoing communication with Guidewire technical advisors (vendor liaison)
- Knowledge of the Property & Casualty (P&C) insurance domain
