We are Guidewire Software, and we're perhaps the best company to work for that you've never heard of. We are the #1 developer of software applications for property and casualty industry. Guidewire applications share a 100% web based, java technology platform.

We build the core applications that companies like GEICO use to sell policies, settle claims, and bill their customers. We serve customers throughout the world, helping them handle billions of dollars worth of business.

The applications we build are large and extraordinarily complex, and offering extensive reliability. So we're looking for thoughtful, creative, and highly-skilled software engineers who enjoy thinking through deep and difficult technical problems, building software test-first, and collaborating closely with an impressive team of peers. We particularly value clear, logical thinking, good communication skills, a focus on quality, and the ability to work well in a team. For the most part, we work in Java and related utilities and tools, but we're interested in talking with smart, motivated people who can learn, no matter what your current technology skill set happens to be.

We're pioneers in Agile development; few companies anywhere, in any industry, have pushed agile techniques as far as we have. To give you one example, we maintain a farm of nearly 200 servers just to continuously run our suite of more than 40,000 unit tests. Our development process is sustainable, family-friendly, and fundamentally humane, and we pride ourselves on a calm, systematic, and rational approach to our business.
