About the role: 

We are looking for an experienced Guidewire Digital Technical Lead to lead the architecture and technical delivery of digital insurance solutions built on the Guidewire platform.

This is a senior technical leadership role combining digital architecture, engineering leadership, Guidewire expertise and integration design.

What your days will look like:

• Lead the architecture and engineering of Guidewire Digital solutions, using Jutro, React and TypeScript/JavaScript to create scalable, reusable applications, guide engineering teams and deliver high-quality digital journeys.
• Shape secure, API-first integrations across Guidewire Insurance Suite, Cloud APIs and external services, defining resilient integration, identity and security patterns aligned with cloud standards.
• Own solution architecture and engineering standards, balancing scalability, performance, security, accessibility, maintainability, cost and delivery risk while governing technical decisions and debt.
• Provide end-to-end technical leadership for secure, scalable and maintainable Guidewire Digital solutions, from architecture and integration through delivery and production.

This role is for you if:

• Technical capability across Guidewire Digital/Jutro and modern application architecture, with the ability to lead digital engineering and architectural design.
• Proficiency in React, TypeScript/JavaScript, HTML and CSS, with skills in building scalable, maintainable and accessible digital applications.
• Knowledge of PolicyCenter, ClaimCenter and/or BillingCenter, REST and Guidewire Cloud APIs, alongside API-first and cloud integration patterns.
• Ability to design secure digital solutions using OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect and SSO, with a sound understanding of API and web application security.
• Skilled in CI/CD, automated testing, source control and DevOps practices, ideally complemented by knowledge of AWS, observability and cloud-native architecture.
• Ability to define architecture standards, guide multidisciplinary and distributed engineering teams, solve complex technical challenges and communicate effectively with stakeholders, vendors and delivery teams.
