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 environment, 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 Environment: Stand up and operate the team’s AWS PROD
setting 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-efficient 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
