About the role

As a Senior Technical Specification Developer (24 Month FTC), you will support the strategic migration of policies from legacy systems into Guidewire PolicyCenter. You'll bridge business requirements and development, understanding complex data structures, translating them into technical specifications, and guiding the dev team on data extraction and processing in a scalable way.

Your main focus will be designing data extraction methods from legacy systems, ensuring standardized and efficient implementation by developers. You'll review technical requirements, challenge existing designs, and recommend improvements for effective data movement. Collaboration with developers, business analysts, and stakeholders is essential to ensure successful policy migration.

You'll also maintain best practices, support developers in following your specs, and provide guidance. Your role includes reviewing and QAing code, mentoring junior developers, and occasionally coding to troubleshoot, refine, or guide best practices, ensuring high-quality solutions.

This role offers influence in improving the efficiency and accuracy of the programme's technical delivery.

• SQL expertise and understanding of data modelling and ETL processes
• Designing technical specifications for legacy-to-strategic platform migrations
• Understanding system design and recommending improvements
• Familiarity with Agile and SDLC
