Full Job Description
An experienced Guidewire Architect is required to join a major property and casualty / general insurance transformation programme. This is a six-month rolling contract, inside IR35, with hybrid working split between Norwich and Westbridge - two days onsite per week.
You will be responsible for defining and governing solution and integration architecture across Guidewire implementations, upgrades and migrations. This means owning the target-state and solution architecture for Guidewire platforms, designing integrations using APIs, messaging, microservices and event-driven architecture, and leading technical design workshops while providing architecture guidance to engineering teams.
You will also support the adoption of Guidewire Cloud, with a focus on security, scalability and resilience, and you will produce and review high-level designs, low-level designs, non-functional requirements and architecture decisions. Close collaboration with engineering, business, security, data and senior stakeholders is central to the role.
To succeed, you will need strong Guidewire solution or technical architecture experience and deep knowledge of at least two InsuranceSuite products - ClaimCenter, PolicyCenter and/or BillingCenter - alongside solid property and casualty insurance experience across policy, underwriting, claims and/or billing. Integration architecture experience with REST/SOAP APIs, messaging and microservices is essential, as is familiarity with Guidewire Cloud, Azure and/or AWS, plus working knowledge of Agile, DevSecOps and CI/CD environments. Strong technical leadership and stakeholder management skills round out the profile.
Requirements:
- Strong Guidewire solution/technical architecture experience
- Deep knowledge of at least two Guidewire InsuranceSuite products - ClaimCenter, PolicyCenter and/or BillingCenter
- Strong P&C/general insurance experience across policy, underwriting, claims and/or billing
- Solid integration architecture experience with REST/SOAP APIs, messaging and microservices

- Knowledge of Agile, DevSecOps and CI/CD environments
- Strong technical leadership and stakeholder management skills
