About the role

Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer designing and building high-impact capabilities for guidewire's cloud platform. Working on AI-driven development and scalable SaaS solutions with a collaborative team.

Responsibilities

Design, build, and maintain full‑stack capabilities for Smart Business Transactions that make it faster and safer for insurers to model, configure, and launch products on Guidewire InsureSuite, aligned with PDO’s AI‑ and cloud‑first priorities.
Implement robust, scalable microservices and APIs in Java on AWS, using Kubernetes and Docker to deliver secure, reliable, and cost‑efficient cloud services.
Develop intuitive, performant front‑end experiences using JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks that enable business and technical users to configure complex insurance products with confidence.
Leverage AI‑assisted development tools (such as Claude Code or Copilot) to rapidly generate, refactor, and extend code while maintaining high engineering standards, tests, and observability.
Apply enterprise architecture and software design patterns to evolve our systems for reliability, maintainability, and performance, contributing to PDO’s goals for operational excellence and service quality.
Collaborate closely with product management, architects, and fellow engineers in an agile environment to break down complex domain problems, run technical spikes, and ship incremental value.
Contribute to and improve our CI/CD, DevOps, and testing practices (for example, TeamCity, Kubernetes-based deployment pipelines) to support faster, safer releases and higher automation.

Demonstrated ability to embrace AI and apply it to your current role as well as data-driven insights to drive innovation, productivity, and continuous improvement.
5+ years of professional software development experience, ideally in SaaS or cloud-based products.
Strong proficiency in core Java, with experience building and maintaining production microservices on a major cloud platform (preferably AWS).
Hands-on experience with JavaScript or TypeScript on the front end; experience with Python is a plus for tooling, automation, or data-related tasks.
Solid understanding of common enterprise architectural and software design patterns, and proven experience applying them in real-world SaaS applications.
Practical experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) and familiarity with CI/CD and DevOps practices and tools (for example, TeamCity, Git-based workflows).
Proven ability to use AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) to accelerate development while exercising strong judgment around code quality, testing, and security.
Excellent communication skills, with the confidence to share and defend ideas based on technical merit, and the humility and curiosity to learn from peers.

Flexible work environment, with a hybrid setup that supports both focused work and in-person collaboration.
Health and wellness benefits.
Paid time off programs, including volunteer time off.
Market-competitive pay and incentive programs.
Continual development and internal career growth opportunities, including upskilling in AI, cloud, and modern engineering practices aligned with PDO’s transformation agenda.
All roles include our in-person orientation process, giving you the chance to connect with colleagues, experience Guidewire’s culture first-hand, and build relationships that support your long-term success.
