This 1-year contract opportunity is seeking an exceptional, hands-on Guidewire PolicyCenter Cloud Technical Lead to join a premier team working on a high-visibility Property & Casualty (P&C) insurance project. The successful candidate will thrive in a dynamic, innovation-driven environment, leveraging cutting-edge Guidewire Cloud technologies to develop and implement transformative solutions shaping the future of insurance. This role offers unparalleled flexibility with a hybrid schedule, requiring only 1-2 days onsite. The possible work locations for the onsite requirement include Hartford, Connecticut, or Hunt Valley, Maryland. This setup promotes an excellent work-life balance while collaborating closely with top internal enterprise teams and leading vendor partners. Local candidates are preferred, but the employer is open to relocation for exceptional talent.

Key responsibilities involve diving deep into modern Guidewire tools, including utilizing Integration Gateway (IG) with Java/Apache Camel for custom transformations, implementing App Events for sophisticated event-driven architecture (specifically webhooks/REST), and employing Advanced Product Designer (APD) for active code and entity generation beyond basic modeling. This position is a significant stepping stone for professional growth, offering exposure to recent cloud versions (e.g., Niseko, Oulu, or Las Lenas), honing leadership skills, and providing mentorship to junior team members. This contract rewards expertise with competitive compensation and innovative work, positioning the candidate for long-term career success in the insurance technology sector.
