Role: Guidewire Data Architect
Location: Remote
Type: Contract to Hire
About the Role:
Rockwoods is looking for a Guidewire Data Architect to design and build data solutions for our PolicyCenter and BillingCenter environment. This role focuses on data architecture, migrations, and integrations—not application development.
You'll own data modeling, ETL/ELT design, Guidewire DataHub strategy, and complex system migrations. You'll work on real enterprise data challenges: mapping legacy systems to Guidewire, designing data pipelines, ensuring data quality, and building scalable architecture.
Must-Have:
12+ years with Guidewire PolicyCenter and/or BillingCenter data models
9+ years in data architecture, data modeling, or data engineering
Real hands-on experience with Guidewire migrations (legacy → Guidewire)
Expertise in ETL/ELT, data mapping, and dimensional modeling
Hands-on Guidewire DataHub experience (data extraction, integration, modeling)
Advanced SQL; Python or Java for data processing
Database experience: Oracle, SQL Server, Snowflake, or cloud platforms
Nice-to-Have:
Cloud data warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift)
Modern ETL tools (dbt, Fivetran, Informatica)
Insurance or P&C domain knowledge
Data governance and metadata frameworks
What You'll Do
Design source-to-target data models for migrations and integrations
Map legacy policy, billing, and account data into Guidewire structures
Build and optimize ETL pipelines for data extraction, transformation, and loading
Lead Guidewire DataHub strategy and downstream analytics integration
Perform data quality checks and reconciliation across systems
Architect data warehouse/lake solutions supporting reporting and analytics
Mentor team members on data architecture best practices.
Application Question(s):
- How many years of hands-on experience do you have working with the Guidewire PolicyCenter data model?
- How many years of hands-on experience do you have with the Guidewire BillingCenter data model, including accounts, invoices, payments, charges, and billing transactions?
- How many years of experience do you have working on Guidewire data migration/conversion projects, particularly migrating data from legacy systems into PolicyCenter or BillingCenter?
