About The Position

As a Guidewire Developer, you will use a variety of tools to add functionality and prevent issues in Guidewire PolicyCenter as markets transition to the Guidewire system. This is a hybrid role. The candidate must live within 50 miles of the Coppell, Texas office and work on-site three days a week regularly, as well as attend team meetings and collaboration days on-site two to three times per month.

The role works in two-week Agile sprints, with most days focused on development. You will code in Gosu using Studio, a version of IntelliJ customized for Guidewire development. Sprint work may include batches, user interface changes, message queues, web service integrations, page configuration changes, and unit tests using Guidewire’s testing framework. Developers also support testing stories by designing or executing testing plans, present work in code reviews and sprint reviews, and may present to audiences ranging from a few teammates to more than 100 people.

You will work in a production environment and sometimes be on call. Duties include triaging incoming tickets, troubleshooting and fixing bugs, and reviewing logs to identify root causes. The role involves collaboration with an Agile team, daily standups, completing sprint stories, and meeting frequent deployment deadlines. Guidewire PolicyCenter integration and configuration experience is especially relevant. The position also calls for explaining technical concepts to less technical audiences and presenting comfortably to groups of 20 or more.
