The position focuses on designing and delivering enterprise-grade integration solutions across the Guidewire InsuranceSuite landscape, with particular emphasis on PolicyCenter, BillingCenter, and ClaimCenter. The work sits within a hybrid model, so day-to-day attendance will vary depending on the needs of the role, the business, and the client. You will be expected to split your time between company offices, client locations, and your home, but the role is not fully remote.

• Set the integration architecture for Guidewire programmes, including the standards, patterns, and best practices that should be followed across transformation initiatives.

• Work closely with business stakeholders, solution architects, and engineering teams to convert business needs into scalable technical solutions.

• Contribute to Guidewire Cloud migration work, modernisation programmes, and digital transformation initiatives.
• Investigate and resolve complex integration problems, improving system resilience and scalability where needed.
• Help define CI/CD, DevOps, testing, and deployment approaches for integration delivery.
• Participate in architecture reviews, technical governance, estimation exercises, and client-facing meetings.
• Shape the vision and strategy with the client, understand stakeholder and user needs, and elicit processes, data, and capabilities as part of business analysis work.
• Model requirements and define target processes and business requirements for both current and future-state solutions.
• Apply the business analysis framework and methods for the project or programme, and provide leadership within the team and beyond it.

What you need

• Strong practical experience with Guidewire InsuranceSuite, especially PolicyCenter, BillingCenter, and ClaimCenter.

• Strong understanding of the Guidewire Integration Framework.
• Hands-on capability in GOSU, plugin development, messaging, event-based integrations, batch integrations, and Guidewire APIs.
• Experience designing and building REST APIs and SOAP web services.
• Experience with enterprise integration, service-oriented architecture, and event-driven architecture.
• Experience using middleware and integration platforms.
• Ability to work effectively with business and technical stakeholders and to contribute in client-facing discussions.
• Experience with architecture reviews, technical governance, and estimation activities.
• This is an experienced-professional role based in London.
