Description
Guidewire's development team is looking for a smart, proactive, and results-oriented Senior Software Engineer / Tech Lead to build elegant solutions for the property & casualty insurance industry's complex business domain and make our industry-leading products even better. The team is looking for an enthusiastic engineer who is passionate about building high-quality software with a great team and improving the customer experience for millions of people who use our products everyday.

The team you will be joining focuses on building applications for U.S. Commercial insurers, which requires large scale data volumes, heavy server load, and complex business logic. You will work in a highly collaborative environment, serving as the technical lead for an agile and cross-functional team of 4-5 Software Engineers. You will frequently work with Product Managers, Team Leads, and Engineers from other teams, formulate technical requirements for other products and/or services, and help resolve dependencies to unblock your and/or other teams. 

Our teams are lean, empowered, and collaborative. You must be a self-starter and able to perform with minimal supervision while working alongside intelligent colleagues who've checked their egos at the door in a team environment, communicating effectively with everyone. We've built a strong culture, and we're looking for engineers who can help us maintain it.

Successful software engineers at Guidewire typically have:

  • A desire to work collaboratively in an empowered, small, cross-functional team.
  • Experience working in an agile and fast-paced development environment (e.g. TDD, BDD, Agile, pair programming, etc.)
  • A passion for code quality demonstrated by thorough testing.
  • A desire to be hands-on in designing and writing code.
  • Curiosity and internal motivation to constantly improve.
  • Ability to learn quickly in a dynamic environment.
  • Excellent communication skills, comfort level to speak their mind and defend ideas based on merit, yet humility and hunger to learn from others

Key qualifications include experience with:

  • Proficiency in Core Java and good working knowledge of JavaScript.
  • Great understanding of CI/CD and DevOps principles; experience with related languages or frameworks such as TeamCity or Kubernetes is a definite plus.
  • In-depth knowledge of Object-Oriented Design design principles.
  • Experience leading a team of software engineers on design/implementation, best development practices, as well as agile methodologies.
  • Experience mentoring and supporting other engineers is a definite plus.
  • Understanding of relational database persistence (e.g. MySQL, Oracle). Familiarity with NoSQL databases (e.g. MongoDB, CouchDB) is a plus.
  • Excellent understanding of Agile development principles.
  • Experience designing REST or gRPC based APIs.
  • Experience building microservices on cloud service platforms (e.g. AWS/GCP/Azure).
  • Technical design and leadership of features from inception to release.
  • Technical leadership experience in mentoring less experienced engineers.
  • Maintaining and promoting a healthy codebase and ensuring high-quality products.
  • BS/MS degree (Computer Science or related field).
  • Minimum 7+ years of Software Development experience, with 1+ years of team leadership experience

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
  • Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
  • The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
  • Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
  • We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
  • We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
  • From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
  • We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
  • If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
  • EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
