Guidewire Developer

Job Summary

We are seeking a Guidewire Developer to deliver configuration, integration, and customization across the Guidewire InsuranceSuite — PolicyCenter, BillingCenter, and ClaimCenter — and Guidewire Cloud. The role focuses on hands-on Gosu development, integration design, product model configuration, and Guidewire Cloud upgrades, working closely with business analysts and SMEs to ship reliable insurance-platform features. The ideal candidate has shipped meaningful Guidewire work in production for insurance carriers and understands the trade-offs that come with deep platform customization.

In this role you will work closely with cross-functional partners — product, design, engineering, operations, and business stakeholders — to translate ambiguous requirements into well-engineered solutions, and will be expected to raise the bar through code review, design review, and mentorship of more junior engineers. The successful candidate brings strong engineering discipline, a clear communication style, and a track record of shipping meaningful work that holds up well in production.

• Build PCF (Page Configuration File) customizations following Guidewire best practices
• Implement Guidewire entity model extensions, augmentations, and data model changes following platform-supported patterns that remain compatible with future Cloud Platform upgrades
• Profile and optimize performance of complex Gosu logic and database queries, applying systematic measurement, targeted improvements, and data-driven validation to deliver quantifiable gains in throughput, latency, or resource efficiency
• Participate in code reviews, contribute to standards, and document technical decisions
• Troubleshoot production issues across the InsuranceSuite footprint — PolicyCenter, BillingCenter, and ClaimCenter — applying systematic diagnostics and partnering with insurance SMEs to drive durable resolutions
• Collaborate with business analysts, product owners, and SMEs on requirements clarification
