Summary

Guidewire is seeking a hands-on Platform Architect to own the cloud and delivery platform that supports our internal AI Engineering team in Bangalore. You will be the single owner of the infrastructure, CI/CD, and operational platform that 4–6 concurrent AI productization Strike Teams build on top of. Your work makes every other engineer on the team faster, safer, and more autonomous.

Unlike a pure cloud architect role, this position is deeply hands-on — you will stand up the AWS PROD workplace, build and operate CI/CD pipelines across all projects, scale vector databases, and own LLM API hosting and token-cost optimization. Single ownership keeps platform decisions coherent across our entire portfolio.
Job Description
AWS Production Workplace: Stand up and operate the team’s AWS PROD environment end-to-end — networking, IAM, compute, storage, observability. Set the standards every Strike Team’s workloads will run inside.
CI/CD Across Strike Teams: Build and maintain unified CI/CD pipelines that all Strike Teams consume. Ensure consistent quality gates,



deployment patterns, and rollback safety across 4–6 concurrent projects.
Vector Database Operations: Own the vector database tier (e.g., OpenSearch, Pinecone, Weaviate, neo4j). Scale indexes, manage ingestion pipelines, and ensure cost-effective operation as project volume grows.
API Hosting & Token Optimization: Manage LLM API integrations and hosting — quotas, rate limits, model routing, caching, and ongoing cost optimization across providers (Bedrock, Anthropic, OpenAI).
Cross-Team Enablement: Build reusable Terraform/CDK modules, golden paths, and platform documentation that let Product Engineers ship features without re-inventing infrastructure.
Technical Standards: Set platform standards in partnership with the AI Architect, QA Architect, and SecOps Engineer — coherent decisions across infra, AI, quality, and security so that projects compose cleanly
