Software Engineer III

Summary

Guidewire's development team is looking for a smart, proactive, and results-oriented Software Engineer to build sophisticated solutions for the property & casualty insurance industry's challenging business domain and enhance our industry-leading products.

As a Software Engineer III, you will own the design and delivery of medium-to-large features and components, collaborating with your pod to deliver high-quality, production-ready solutions.

Our software supports significant data volumes and heavy loads. Our platform includes a cluster-safe persistence layer, inter-application messaging architecture, an MVC Web layer, and a lot more.

You will be part of our Product Development organisation, working on products and solutions that enable in-market authorities, regulatory bodies, institutions, third parties, partners and insurers to more readily integrate their insurance processes and 3rd party services to the full suite of Guidewire Software Products.

You'll work alongside inspiring colleagues whom you can rely on for support. Teamwork is very important to us and we are looking for engineers who share knowledge, actively listen to understand different perspectives, are meticulous and work as a unit with the wider team to solve sophisticated challenges.

You will attend training from day one, learning about our solutions and the business, as every day can be different, from development to deployment, quarterly planning, and daily standups.

• Mentor and support more junior engineers through pairing, feedback, and sharing best practices; actively contribute to improving team rituals and engineering practices.

• Proficient in both spoken and written English.

• Concise written communication and documentation skills.

• Degree in Computer Science or equivalent.

• Cloud services (e.g. AWS/GCP/Azure) are advantageous but not required.
