Guidewire Developer
Guidewire Developer
Remote
Permanent
What you’ll do
• Coach tech leads and delivery squads toward modern engineering practice - automated
testing, trunk-based development, CI/CD, and progressive delivery - working at both low
(hands-on) and high (architecture/strategy) levels.
• Identify what blocks continuous delivery in a Guidewire Cloud context and lead the work to
dismantle those blockers.
• Represent the squads’ platform needs to Guidewire: frame, prioritize, and drive platform
asks and limitations with the vendor.
• Raise the bar on code review, automation, and delivery quality through influence rather
than authority.
• Help define and measure engineering-maturity targets, and show real, evidenced uplift over
time.
The balance we’re looking for (please read before submitting)
This is the crux of the role. We need someone genuinely strong on both sides - deep
Guidewire-Cloud platform expertise and modern continuous-delivery / DevOps engineering -
plus a track record of coaching senior engineers. Please don’t put forward pure-Guidewire
profiles with weak engineering practice, or strong modern engineers with only surface
Guidewire exposure, unless they truly have both.
Essential experience
• Senior-or-above, with real depth on the Guidewire Cloud Platform (InsuranceSuite -
PolicyCenter / BillingCenter / ClaimCenter), including configuration-vs-customization
judgement, Gosu/Java, integration patterns, and the cloud release/upgrade model.
• Demonstrable modern-engineering practice: automated testing strategy, CI/CD pipelines,
deployment automation, and a continuous-delivery mindset - ideally applied in a Guidewire
setting.
• A genuine coaching/enablement track record: growing tech leads and squads and
influencing teams that don’t report to them.
• Comfortable operating end-to-end - from low-level code to high-level architecture - and
explaining trade-offs to both engineers and stakeholders
