  • Support the scalability, availability, and data security of InsuranceNow’s product services.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (product management, QA, operations, and domain experts) to deliver product enhancements that drive measurable customer value.

  • Embrace Guidewire’s values of collegiality, integrity, and rationality, contributing to a culture that is customer-focused and innovation-driven.

What you'll bring:

  • 2–3 years of experience using Java and object-oriented programming.

  • Solid understanding of SQL and relational databases.

  • Familiarity with Continuous Delivery, Continuous Integration, Unit Testing, and related engineering practices.

  • Cloud services knowledge (e.g., AWS) is a huge plus.

  • Understanding of Single-Sign-On (SSO), SAML, and authentication/authorization concepts is a big plus.

  • Willingness to learn the insurance domain; prior insurance experience is not required.

Successful software engineers at Guidewire typically:

  • Want to work collaboratively in small, empowered, cross-functional teams.

  • Are committed to writing clean, maintainable, and well-tested code and collaborating effectively with geographically distributed teams and domain experts.

  • Have experience in agile development environments (e.g., TDD, agile practices, pair programming).

  • Show curiosity and internal motivation to constantly improve their skills and the product.
