Guidewire Tech Lead CC Brokerage program

Description:

• 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.

• 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
