Product Strategy/Full time/Remote
Guidewire is searching for a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer with experience designing, architecting, building, and maintaining the infrastructure surrounding a suite of geospatial data microservices. As an Infra Engineer, you will be responsible for the engineering behind our NextGen HazardHub microservices ecosystem, the most comprehensive set of property risk data, casualty risk data, and hazard risk scoring in the P&C insurance industry.
You’ll join a team of talented API, Infra, and Data Engineers, faced with an exciting mix of greenfield and legacy projects as HazardHub continues its maturation from startup to an enterprise product within Guidewire. You’ll collaborate with our API Engineers to adopt a contract-driven API management strategy, and you’ll collaborate with our Data Engineers to build out a robust ETL infrastructure. They will look to you to create and support a deployment environment that is reliable, secure, and as toil-free as possible.
Who We Are, What We Believe, & What We Build
Guidewire is the market leader that 400+ insurance companies trust to run their critical platform. Every second, we support underwriters crafting policies and agents settling claims.
