Job description

The 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.

• Significant experience in solution architecture on projects
• Command of the Guidewire suite: PolicyCenter, ClaimCenter, BillingCenter
• Command of the Gosu language and page configuration (PCF)
• Knowledge of Guidewire suite APIs
• Command of one or more architecture frameworks and Archimate notation
• Inter-application integration (APIs, Web Services, event‑driven architecture)
• Microservices approach
• On‑premise and cloud deployment of application solutions (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, CaaS)
• Developer mentoring and Guidewire Cloud development best practices
• Priority management, planning and matrix environment
• Oral and written communication, simplifying complex topics, escalation of critical issues
• Intermediate‑advanced English

ASSET

• Guidewire certification (Associate, Specialist or ACE), labelled an “important asset”
• Knowledge of Guidewire APD (Advanced Product Designer)

Profiles to Exclude:

• Profile mentioning Guidewire only in functional analysis, testing or project management, with no demonstrated Gosu development or PCF configuration.
• Guidewire developer or tech lead profile with no solution architecture file produced (IT orientations, non‑functional requirements, transition strategies).
• Solution or enterprise architect profile outside Guidewire, with less than 5 years of hands‑on work on the suite.
• Profile whose integration experience is limited to consuming APIs, with no inter‑application integration design (Web Services, event‑driven).
• Guidewire profile with no demonstrated mentoring or technical reference role with developers.
