Job details

Job Description: Refocused the role from an analyst developer (intermediate to senior) to senior Guidewire developer, upgrade. Impact analysis is now handled by the developer, rather than a separate role. Optimum is preparing to upgrade its on-premise Guidewire InsuranceSuite environment from version 10.2.2 to 10.2.5 (or higher). (recent at the start of the project), exclusively on PolicyCenter. The mandate is for a senior Guidewire developer who has already performed a version upgrade, whether it be a minor version upgrade or a migration to Guidewire Cloud: this developer is responsible for identifying the impacts, incompatibilities, and regression points themselves, without a separate analyst profile adding value to a purely technical migration. The upgrade does not deliver new features; the challenge is technical and critical, hence the requirement for concrete version upgrade experience. A developer without this experience is only a viable option if paired part-time with a senior developer who has it. This role is separate from the DBCC correction, which is the subject of a second mandate and cannot be carried out simultaneously: the DBCCs are corrected first, then the PolicyCenter version upgrade is performed. This should not be confused with a functional analyst, a generic Guidewire profile, or an architect detached from the code. Requirements Required: On-premise Guidewire InsuranceSuite development on PolicyCenter (Gosu, configuration) Professional experience with a Guidewire upgrade: minor version upgrade or migration to Guidewire Cloud, using the Upgrade Tool Identification of impacts, incompatibilities, and regressions from code review Advanced mastery of the PolicyCenter data model Desired: Senior experience, autonomous in identifying impacts and preparing the upgrade Ability to produce technical documentation for upgrade preparation Asset: Knowledge of the Property & Casualty (P&C) insurance sector
