Summary
Join Guidewire’s Cloud Data Platform (CDP) team, a group dedicated to building and operating our enterprise-grade, cloud-native data and analytics platform for P&C insurers. The team builds and operates the platform foundation that CDP’s data and analytics services run on: the integration and service-intelligence APIs that hold CDP metadata and orchestrate multi-tenant service deployment, the infrastructure-as-code provisioning that onboards single-tenant services across many AWS accounts and regions, the CI/CD orchestration used by CDP projects, and the observability services (logging, metrics, health monitoring) that keep the platform reliable. Our collaborative, innovative environment values curiosity, technical excellence, and a passion for solving complex challenges.
As a Software Engineer, you will design and develop scalable platform services, cloud automation, and infrastructure as code in the public cloud. We seek expertise in AWS, Python, and IaC-based infrastructure automation to help us deliver transformative innovation and operational excellence. This is an opportunity to shape the future of insurance technology, working on projects that drive measurable value and efficiency for our customers and support Guidewire’s mission to transform the industry through AI, cloud, and data platform adoption.
Job Description
What you’ll do
•
Design, build, and operate platform services and integration APIs — in Python — that provide CDP metadata, service-health status, and service intelligence, and that orchestrate multi-tenant service deployment and the registration of data products.
•
Develop and maintain infrastructure as code (IaC) to provision and manage CDP platform infrastructure (IAM, networking, compute, serverless, data stores) across multiple AWS accounts and regions.
•
Automate single-tenant service onboarding and monitoring and observability provisioning (monitoring agents, serverless collectors) for CDP environments.
•
Build event-driven, serverless automation on AWS (Lambda, S3, API Gateway) — for example registry systems that automatically track and index environment and infrastructure configurations.
•
Own CI/CD orchestration for CDP projects: GitHub Actions–based automation, as well as TeamCity pipelines authored in Kotlin DSL and shared metarunners.
•
Build and operate CDP’s observability platform services — log aggregation, metrics collection, heartbeat/health monitoring, and Elasticsearch/Kibana (Elastic Cloud) content managed as code.
•
Build, publish, and maintain the Docker images and containerized workloads (ECS/EKS) that support CDP infrastructure and logging needs.
•
Practice AI-assisted, spec-driven development: capture intent in requirements, design, task, and architecture decision documents; maintain durable steering context; and apply AI tooling throughout the software development lifecycle to drive productivity and quality.
•
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver secure, efficient, and innovative solutions that align with Guidewire’s product and customer goals, and participate in the full software development lifecycle, from requirements gathering to deployment and monitoring.
•
Support team members, fostering a culture of continuous learning and technical excellence.
•
At Guidewire, we foster a culture of curiosity, innovation, and responsible use of AI—empowering our teams to continuously leverage emerging technologies and data-driven insights to enhance productivity and outcomes.
