in solution architecture within a project context. The role is based within the

  • Practical
    knowledge of modern software architectures: microservices, event-driven,
    API-first, and continuous integration. Functional and technical understanding
    of application components (services, APIs, modules, dependencies).

  • Ability to
    challenge or support software design decisions (patterns, anti-patterns, design
    impacts).

  • Understanding
    of software quality issues: testability, observability, performance, coupling,
    application security.

  • Define and
    enforce best practices for developing the Guidewire cloud solution.
