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.
