Job Summary
Role Summary:
Client is seeking a senior calculation systems Developer/Architect to support technical discovery and modernization planning for the enterprise calculation platform. The role will assess the existing DXC VP/MS-powered calculation ecosystem understand client customizations evaluate upgrade options for client Design GUI and the calculation engine and help define a future-state service-based architecture.
Modernization Context
Area | Positioning |
Modernization context |
|
Target direction | Support a more modular API-driven product calculation and rules capability that can be wrapped abstracted and incrementally modernized. |
AI expectation | Use AI-assisted analysis and development tools such as Claude AI and GitHub Copilot where appropriate to accelerate discovery documentation code analysis and prototyping. |
Primary outcome | Produce actionable discovery findings options risks dependencies and roadmap recommendations for client planning and vendor alignment. |
Key Responsibilities:
- Analyze the technical architecture of the existing calculation platform including VP/MS model usage integration points data inputs and calculation outputs.
- Reverse engineer client -specific customizations interfaces and dependencies around the DXC VP/MS-powered calculation engine.
- Perform BA-style discovery with business and technical stakeholders to capture requirements pain points current-state flows and decision points.
- Evaluate technical upgrade paths for client Design GUI and related calculation authoring or modeling capabilities.
- Assess API service batch reporting and downstream integration touchpoints that depend on calculation outputs.
- Partner with BIRT reporting SMEs to understand report engine integration points data dependencies and upgrade considerations.
- Identify candidate areas for wrapping abstraction modularization or replacement using product rules pricing projection and scenario services.
- Use Claude AI GitHub Copilot and approved tools to accelerate code analysis documentation and proof-of-concept work.
Skills:
Required Skills / Experience
Dimension | Expectation |
Engineering depth | 10 years of enterprise software engineering architecture or legacy-system modernization experience. |
Calculation systems | Experience with product calculation engines rules engines pricing logic projections or highly configurable business rules platforms. |
BA/discovery skillset | Required for all Developer candidates as well: stakeholder interviewing requirement elicitation process and dependency mapping current-state documentation gap/risk identification and business-facing recommendations. |
Integration architecture | Strong understanding of APIs service orchestration data contracts dependency mapping and enterprise integration patterns. |
Legacy assessment | Ability to reverse engineer older platforms document technical debt identify coupling and recommend phased modernization options. |
Insurance technology | Experience in life insurance annuities illustrations product definition policy administration or financial services technology. |
Communication | Ability to translate technical findings into executive-ready recommendations risks and roadmap options. |
Preferred Skills / Nice-to-Have Experience
Dimension | Expectation |
VP/MS or DXC platforms | Hands-on experience with DXC VP/MS Vantage Assure Product or comparable product/modeling platforms. |
BIRT reporting & Office 365 | Experience with BIRT report engine configuration templates data sources rendering or modernization. Along with O365 Expert knowledge. |
AI-assisted engineering | Practical use of Claude AI GitHub Copilot or similar tools for code analysis refactoring documentation and POC acceleration. |
Cloud/API modernization | Experience designing modular product services calculation services decision services or strangler-pattern modernization approaches. |
Expected Deliverables
- Technical architecture assessment for calculation platform Design GUI reporting and integration dependencies.
- Inventory of critical VP/MS customizations interfaces calculation touchpoints and modernization constraints.
- BA-quality discovery documentation including requirements stakeholder inputs current-state flows gaps and risks.
- Upgrade options analysis for client Design GUI and calculation engine components.
- Conceptual target-state architecture for modular product rules pricing scenario and calculation services.
- Risk dependency validation and sequencing recommendations for phased modernization.
Engagement Success Criteria
Technical discovery produces enough detail to support vendor sizing roadmap planning and architecture decisions.
client has clear recommendations on what to wrap refactor upgrade prototype or defer.
Risk areas such as calculation/result parity actuarial validation reporting dependencies and integration complexity are clearly identified.
Developers can operate independently in discovery conversations not just implementation tasks.
