Technical Architect

BlitzenX is seeking an accomplished Technical Architect to drive enterprise-grade system integrations and product development from scratch for global insurance clients — with a focus on insurance platforms (Guidewire, Sapiens, DuckCreek), scalable architecture, and next-gen InsurTech product innovation.

This role requires a solutions architect with a product mindset — someone who can design robust, cloud-native architectures, lead integration blueprints, and contribute to building internal IP and reusable product components that accelerate delivery and customer outcomes. The ideal candidate is hands-on, business-aware, and ready to evolve into a Guidewire Solutions Architect through continuous learning and upskilling.

You'll operate at the intersection of product engineering, solution architecture, and customer success, working closely with cross-border teams to deliver technology that transforms how insurers operate.

Key Responsibilities

End-to-End Product Development:

Architect and guide new product builds from concept to production, including design, prototyping, development, deployment, and continuous improvement.

Integration Architecture

Design and develop enterprise-grade integrations using Guidewire's Integration Framework, ensuring scalability, performance, and seamless interoperability between internal systems and external platforms.

Customer Collaboration

Work directly with client stakeholders to translate business objectives into technical architecture, define integration use cases, and produce detailed solution and design documentation.

Technical Leadership

Lead architecture design sessions, mentor engineering teams, and establish best practices for scalability, security, and maintainability.

Data Management

Oversee data models and flows between systems, ensuring accuracy, integrity, and compliance with business rules and security requirements.

Proof Of Concept (PoC)

Lead PoCs to validate product features or integration strategies, demonstrating architectural soundness and feasibility before full-scale development.

Stakeholder Alignment

Collaborate with customer infrastructure teams, System Integrators (SIs), and internal product engineering teams to ensure end-to-end solution alignment.

AI-Driven Engineering

Apply AI tools and data-driven insights to improve architectural decision-making, optimize code efficiency, and automate aspects of testing and performance tuning.

Required Skills & Experience

• 15+ years of combined experience in software development, architecture, and consulting.
• Proven experience in designing and delivering products from scratch — including architecture definition, component design, and production rollout.
• Extensive background in Agile product development and iterative delivery models.
• Strong communication and leadership skills with an ability to collaborate across engineering, business, and customer functions.
• 10+ years of hands-on experience in Object-Oriented Programming (Java, C#, or similar).
• Deep technical knowledge of relational databases (Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL) and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP).
• Advanced understanding of web applications, API development, and enterprise integration frameworks.
• Proven ability to design, develop, and deploy complex, distributed systems in large-scale environments.
• Experience producing technical specifications, architecture diagrams, and integration design documents.
• Demonstrated ability to leverage AI, automation, and data analytics to enhance delivery and product performance.
  
  

Desired Skills & Experience

• Experience in non-life insurance systems (policy, billing, claims).
• Hands-on exposure to Guidewire suite (PolicyCenter, BillingCenter, ClaimCenter) — configuration, integration, and testing.
• Strong understanding of API frameworks (REST, SOAP, JSON-RPC), message queues, and microservices architecture.
• Experience building enterprise middleware, DevOps pipelines (Git, TeamCity, Jenkins), and CI/CD frameworks.
• Working knowledge of observability tools (Datadog, New Relic, Prometheus).
• Prior experience as a Systems Analyst, Consultant, or Product Architect in large-scale software environments.
