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.\n\nSoftware Engineer (P2) \n\nDriven 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. \n\nGuidewire 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. \n\nInsuranceSuite Deployment Services This role is part of the team responsible for InsuranceSuite deployment services within the Guidewire Cloud Platform. The team's focus is on delivering a reliable and automated experience for deploying and managing applications. \nThese services support not only deploying and undeploying InsuranceSuite applications, but also selective and blue-green deployments, scaling and hibernating InsuranceSuite nodes, database restore operations, deployment rollbacks, and many more. \n\nTech 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 and integrates with platform services to manage deployment workflows, application resources, and deployment state. We provide\nreliable interfaces and automation that help customers deploy and operate Guidewire applications. \n\nEngineering Culture \n 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. \n\nAt Guidewire, we encourage curiosity, innovation, and the responsible use of AI. We empower our teams to use emerging technologies and data-driven insights to improve productivity and outcomes. \n\nThis 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).\nTech stack\nJava\nAWS\nKubernetes\nSpring Boot","description_format":"text","description_chars":4743,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Predictive Analytics","Property & Casualty Insurance","InsurTech"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-08T22:25:03Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":20,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":0.85,"p_active":0.513,"p_room":0.45,"age_days":22,"expected_fill_days":14,"reasons":["seen:22","stale_co","wave","velocity","win:tail","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-24T06:02:35Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":47580,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/guidewire-software-engineer-ii","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/guidewire-software-engineer-ii.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-25T05:52:06Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":8068,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-26T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":6488},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=6488"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fguidewire-software-engineer-ii"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fguidewire-software-engineer-ii"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fguidewire-software-engineer-ii"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/guidewire-software-engineer-ii\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fguidewire-software-engineer-ii"}]}
