Job details

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. Requirements Required: 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 Guidewire ACE Certification Proficiency in Guidewire, Gosu, and Java Expertise in REST/SOAP services, XML, and JSON Knowledge of French Advanced English proficiency University degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related discipline Preferred: Proficiency in application architectures, integration, and cloud environments Knowledge of Agile, DevOps, CI/CD practices, and source code management tools ClaimCenter development experience dedicated to commercial lines Asset: Experience mentoring or coaching junior developers Experience with pricing model management Experience in ongoing communication with Guidewire technical advisors (vendor liaison) Knowledge of the Property & Casualty (P&C) insurance domain
