Summary

Do you understand the power of persistence? Are you ready to get better every day? We're looking for a Software Engineer to join our development team in Krakow. You’ll play a key role in building products that improve the experience of millions of Guidewire customers worldwide. Working in a team of specialists who have a shared commitment to push further and achieve more.


Driven by integrity and motivated by the collective challenge.
At Guidewire, we're changing the face of insurance. Developing and delivering technology that's crafting the future of the property and casualty industry. We're a global team of more than 2,400 working at scale and speed across a 500-million-dollar platform that gives insurers the tools they need to take care of their customers. Individually mastering our craft, to collectively empower millions.


Guidewire Cloud Platform
We are part of the team responsible for building the Guidewire Cloud Platform, enabling our customers to develop and deploy Guidewire Insurance Platform solutions to the cloud - similar to deploying applications on AWS. Under the hood, the platform is built on AWS, utilizing Kubernetes and Terraform for scalability and efficiency.


Provisioning Services
This role is part of the team responsible for provisioning services within the Guidewire Cloud Platform. The team's focus is on delivering an exceptional experience for managing customer projects and environments, known internally as "star systems" and "planets." These services form the backbone of the platform by offering a comprehensive system of record for customer infrastructure. Combined with pay-as-you-go features, they empower users to tailor their infrastructure to best suit their needs and budgets.


Tech Stack:
Our teams develop components for the Cloud Platform as autonomous microservices, primarily using a Java stack (Java 17+ and Spring Boot) supported by AWS-native services. Our microservice architecture runs on Kubernetes within AWS, managing and storing mission-critical configuration and reference data. We provide consumer-quality interfaces that allow customers to quickly configure Guidewire applications.


Our teams take ownership of all aspects of the software development lifecycle for their services, including architecture, coding, quality assurance, infrastructure, and deployment/upgrade strategies. We embrace agile methodologies to promote collaboration and efficiency across our projects.


This role requires in-office attendance for 10 days per month (specifically, the last week of the month, Monday through Thursday, and for the remaining weeks, Tuesday and Wednesday).
