About the Role:

We’re seeking a seasoned Guidewire Solutions Architect to help modernize core insurance systems, improve user experience, and define future-ready solutions.

This role is ideal for a hands-on technical leader with a strong background in architecture, system modernization, and the Guidewire platform—especially PolicyCenter and BillingCenter. Experience with GOSU is preferred. If you don’t have Guidewire experience, strong insurance domain knowledge and Java proficiency may be considered instead.

What You’ll Do:

• Lead solution architecture efforts for application development and modernization.
• Define technical roadmaps, identify architectural gaps, and streamline development sequencing.
• Drive innovation, technology migration, and scalable system design.
• Evaluate new technologies and propose modern, business-aligned solutions.
• Collaborate with enterprise architects to ensure alignment with overall IT strategy.
• Work closely with developers, tech leads, and program managers to assess current and future-state architectures.
• Build proofs-of-concept, troubleshoot issues, and guide technical implementation.
• Translate business needs into scalable technical solutions.
• Influence tool and platform decisions; support third-party software selection.
• Help shape QA strategy and promote test automation aligned with architectural standards.
• Lead technical design sessions and resolve architectural trade-offs.
• Foster an inclusive, collaborative team environment.

What You Bring:

• 5+ years in software engineering and architecture roles.
• Strong experience with Guidewire (PolicyCenter and/or BillingCenter).
• Hands-on with GOSU and solid Java knowledge.
• Deep understanding of application architecture and enterprise design patterns.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms like AWS or Azure.
• Bachelor's in Computer Science or related field (preferred).
• Relevant certifications (e.g., AWS, Azure Solutions Architect) are a plus.
• Remote-friendly, but travel to Salem, OR is required as needed.
• Must reside in one of the following states:

AL, AZ, DE, FL, GA, ID, IL, MI, MO, NE, NV, NC, ND, OH, OR, PA, SC, TX, UT, VA, WA, WV, WI
