Guidewire Tech Lead CC - Brokerage program

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.
