Careers: Development

Are you looking to eke out your days as a veal calf in a beige cubicle? Perhaps you'd like to work 70 hours a week to hack out buggy, mediocre software on a ridiculous schedule? And then start all over, just more tired? No? You're sure? Because that's what life is like at most software companies.

Guidewire is different.

Talk to our developers, QA engineers, and product managers and you'll immediately sense their enthusiasm for our unique culture. We started our company to have a place to write software the way we wanted to write it: by respecting the incredible power of smart, motivated people to find the best possible way to do their jobs. You can hear directly from our developers on the Guidewire Development Blog.

We started by recruiting the best people we'd ever worked with - and raising the bar from there. We rely totally on the good judgment of our teammates. We work in an Agile/XP environment, and invest systematically in tools and approaches like test-driven development to drive out bugs, write more code in fewer working hours, improve flexibility, and measure our results. Each investment leads to more success (our customers can't believe the level of quality we deliver), which gives us more resources to invest. The more we improve, the more we learn how to improve, and the more fun it all is. People love to work at Guidewire because we're always learning, and we write beautiful software at a pace that is thrilling (and a little terrifying).

Are you excited about applying the most advanced software engineering practices in an Agile environment? Are you interested in test-driven development, object-oriented design, continuous integration, and refactoring? Are you dreaming of a no-bureaucracy environment where you can get on with the business of building great products? If so, then check out what Guidewire has to offer.
