Performance Architect Guidewire Software

Performance at Guidewire is not about running one big test at the end of project. Guidewire employs agile techniques that identify performance problems early in the project and allow us to scale our systems to meet the needs of the largest insurance carriers. Join our team for an opportunity to use your strong technical background and excellent analysis skills to meet these kinds of challenges.
Guidewire Software is seeking consultants to join our growing performance management practice. While duties do include designing, executing and analyzing performance test data, the role extends far beyond traditional testing and focuses on Agile approaches for managing performance issues throughout the project lifecycle. While familiarity with tradition performance tools is a plus, a deep technical knowledge providing the ability to understand and resolve performance issues is more critical.
This is a senior position which requires the individual to work independently when delivering services and requires excellent client consulting and communication skills.
Essential duties
- Master Guidewire's Agile performance approaches which includes both tools and processes that help model and predict system performance.
- Lead Guidewire's client through the development of a complete performance strategy which incorporates approaches for monitoring, testing and tuning performance.
- Develop a thorough understanding of Guidewire's product platform including all integration technologies.
