• Strong proficiency in using Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, Kotlin and ability to adjust or learn other languages if needed.

• Excellent ability to break down ambiguous problems, propose pragmatic solutions, and iterate quickly in a high-paced AI-assisted development environment.

• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, ability to collaborate effectively with colleagues from different disciplines and geographies.

• A learning mindset and openness to feedback; willingness to dive into new technologies, insurance domain concepts, and evolving AI and cloud capabilities.

Our Team and PDO Priorities

• You will be part of the Product Development & Operations (PDO) organization emphasizing operational excellence, transformative innovation, and customer-centricity, with a strong focus on AI, cloud, and data platform adoption.

We believe in clarity and setting you up for success. In your first months, you will onboard to our Application Platform and configuration tooling stack, pair with teammates to deliver incremental enhancements, and ship your first fullstack features into production that improve automation, usability, or reliability for our P&C customers. As you gain context, you'll own endtoend design and implementation of capabilities that help PDO meet its FY26 priorities-embedding GenAI into products, improving operational metrics, and driving adoption of cloudnative and data platform features that make our customers more efficient and reference-able. Over time, your work will influence how insurers configure products, automate workflows, and operate on Guidewire Cloud, shaping both the developer experience inside Guidewire and the daytoday experience of insurance professionals around the world while advancing Guidewire's mission to transform how P&C insurers do business through digital, core, analytics, and AI.
