JOB DESCRIPTION
What you’ll do
- Help develop or maintain simple tools, scripts, or templates (e.g., spreadsheets, basic scripts) that automate routine Professional Services workflows and improve day-to-day operational efficiency for US Commercial Line Solutions.
- Implement small, well-defined coding tasks (for example, data transformations, simple integrations,) and internal utilities - using languages such as Java, JavaScript, SQL, or Python under guidance from senior engineers.
- Use AI-assisted development tools (for example, code assistants, test generators, and documentation helpers) to prototype improvements, refactor existing code, and document processes in a safe, compliant way.
- Experiment with AI-based automation (scripts, prompts, or small utilities) to streamline repetitive team workflows and propose measurable improvements that support faster, more consistent implementations.
- Support other Solution Service owners by organizing and prioritizing the Solution Services backlog, maintaining clear documentation, and ensuring alignment with overall Commercial Lines Services strategies.
- Document small process issues the team encounters and propose pragmatic, incremental changes to improve business processes and ways of working.
- Participate in agile ceremonies (standups, planning, reviews, retrospectives) and selected field activities (workshops, pilots, go-live support) taking ownership of well-defined follow-up tasks that improve solution adoption and customer outcomes.
- Collaborate with internal Guidewire teams and external partners on clearly scoped tasks that contribute to the development and adoption of USBC Solutions.
- Contribute to knowledge enablement for consultants by drafting or updating quick-reference guides, checklists, and basic training materials for USBC Solution Services.
- At Guidewire, we foster a culture of curiosity, innovation, and responsible use of AI–empowering our teams to continuously leverage emerging technologies and data-driven insights to enhance productivity and outcomes.
What You’ll Bring
Required
- Programming fundamentals in at least one of Java, JavaScript, SQL, or Python, with the ability to implement small, well-defined coding tasks and data transformations.
- Ability to build and maintain simple scripts, utilities, and spreadsheet-based tools to automate repetitive tasks and improve operational efficiency.
- Comfort learning and safely using AI-assisted development tools (such as code assistants, test generators, and documentation helpers) safely and responsibly.
- Agile basics: familiarity with sprints, standups, planning, reviews, retrospectives, and taking end-to-end ownership of small, low-risk tasks.
- Ability to work with backlog and work-tracking tools (for example, Jira or spreadsheets) to prioritize, track, and report on tasks.
- Clear written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to document processes, issues, and how-to guides for a range of stakeholders (engineers, project managers, consultants, and partners).
- Strong collaboration skills and comfort contributing in cross-functional settings such as workshops, pilots, and go-live activities, with reliable follow through on assigned actions.
- Self-starter mindset with the ability to break vague ideas into concrete tasks, doing the upfront research, and creating an execution plan with light guidance.
- Demonstrated ability to embrace AI and apply it to your current role as well as data-driven insights to drive innovation, productivity, and continuous improvement.
Preferred
- Coursework, projects, or internships involving Java, JavaScript, SQL, or Python, especially where you built utilities, integrations, or automation scripts.
- Hands-on experience using AI tools (such as, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, test generators) to assist with coding, documentation, or process automation.
- Prior participation in an agile team or structured group project (university project, hackathon, student tech club), including standups and sprint-style planning.
- Exposure to backlog management and collaboration tools (Jira, Trello, Asana, Confluence, Google Docs/Sheets) for tracking tasks and documenting work.
- Experience creating how-to guides, checklists, or basic training materials (for classmates, open-source projects, campus jobs, or prior internships).
- Any customer-facing or field experience (workshops, user testing, support, tutoring, lab assistant) that shows comfort in listening, capturing notes, and following up on actions.
- Interest in P&C insurance, SaaS/enterprise software, or consulting-style environments.

Your work will support our FY26 ambition to revolutionize services execution, scale AI-enabled offerings, and help insurers successfully transform on the Guidewire platform by cutting implementation effort and time and driving measurable customer value.

Get Access To All JobsTechnical Architect CPT: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Technical Architect role qualify for CPT authorization?
Yes, if the position is directly tied to your degree program and your DSO approves it. Technical Architect roles typically involve systems design, cloud infrastructure, or enterprise solution planning, all of which map clearly to computer science, information systems, or engineering curricula. Your DSO will need a job description and a statement explaining how the work integrates with your current coursework before issuing CPT authorization.
Can I do part-time CPT as a Technical Architect while finishing classes?
Part-time CPT, defined as 20 hours per week or fewer, is available while you're still taking courses, and it doesn't affect your OPT eligibility. Many Technical Architect internships or co-ops are structured as part-time engagements precisely for this reason. Full-time CPT used for 12 months or more eliminates your OPT eligibility entirely, so confirm your weekly hours with your DSO before accepting an offer.
How do I find Technical Architect employers who are open to CPT students?
Migrate Mate filters Technical Architect openings by employers with verified work-authorization filing history, so you can focus outreach on companies already familiar with F-1 students. When contacting employers, lead with your CPT authorization timeline and confirm they're willing to provide the role description your DSO requires. Avoid applying broadly and hoping for the best, since many rejections happen only after the offer stage when sponsorship questions arise.
What does the O*NET profile say about Technical Architect qualifications?
O*NET classifies Technical Architect roles under computer and information systems management, typically requiring a bachelor's degree or higher in a directly related field. The profile lists skills including systems analysis, programming, and technology design. This classification supports the specialty occupation argument if your employer later files an H-1B visa petition on your behalf, making it worth referencing when your DSO asks how the role connects to your degree.
Can my CPT Technical Architect role convert into H-1B sponsorship after graduation?
CPT itself doesn't create any sponsorship obligation, but employers who hire you as a Technical Architect intern are often the same ones who sponsor H-1B petitions. If your employer wants to sponsor you, they'd file a Labor Condition Application with DOL and then submit an H-1B petition to USCIS. The cap-subject H-1B lottery runs once a year, so timing your graduation and OPT start date against the April filing window matters for planning continuity of status.
