Perform a technical upgrade of an on-premise Guidewire PolicyCenter environment, assessing code impacts, incompatibilities, and regression risks. Develop using Gosu and PolicyCenter configuration, apply advanced knowledge of the PolicyCenter data model, use the Guidewire Upgrade Tool, and prepare technical documentation. Prior Guidewire version-upgrade or Guidewire Cloud migration experience is essential, with autonomy in impact analysis and upgrade preparation. P&C insurance knowledge is beneficial.
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)

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
