Solutions Engineer, Quality - Guidewire Policy Center

Strategic partner: You take the big picture view, whether you're supervising architecture migrations or maintaining critical relationships with vendors and business partners Motivated mentor: Exercise your technical chops while coaching and collaborating with junior software engineers. Systems-level engineer: Working hand-in-hand with your business partners, you'll develop technical requirements and design robust and flexible product and system architectures Forward thinker: Leading by example, you'll promote a culture of continuous improvement by finding solutions that increase efficiency, accelerate the adoption of new technologies and enhance profitability Ten years of related software engineering experience A comprehensive understanding of agile environments Extensive knowledge of contemporary frameworks and emerging technologies A history of practicing DevOps and SecOps A strong background in business operations and strategies, including knowledge of global business, technology trends and the financial services industry Solid negotiation, facilitation, consensus building and influencing capabilities Ability to identify patterns and problems across teams and deliver effective solutions Openness and adaptability to respond to fast-moving circumstances A design thinking and test-driven development mindset Excellent oral and written communication skills, and an aptitude for working in teams Knowledge Experience developing or architecting cloud-hosted, responsive web applications using Java, HTML5 and CSSS3 Strong background in code review High-level proficiency with client-side JavaScript frameworks, server-side frameworks, and NoSQL databases Familiarity with event-based System of Engagement architectures and integration with API exposing microservices Deep understanding of layered solutions and designs Cognizance of security concerns, from access control and authentication to secured SDLC processes Understanding of DCI/MDM systems, data ingestion and cloud-scale data sets A Bachelor's or Master's degree in a technical or business discipline, or equivalent experience delivering durable solutions that prevent recurrence and accelerate flow 1) Systemic Problem Identification & Prioritisation Continuously mine signals (test outcomes, pipeline telemetry, defect trends, environment incidents, release friction, manual handoffs) to surface recurring constraints and risks. Maintain a prioritised "Top Problems" backlog with clear problem statements, leading indicators, target outcomes, and measures of success. Design solution options spanning process, tooling, automation, and integration guardrails; quantify impact and align stakeholders. Deliver solutions directly (scripts/tools, pipeline improvements, readiness checks, dashboards) and/or drive implementation through partner teams. Improve assurance gate effectiveness and speed by shifting confidence earlier in the lifecycle and reducing reliance on slow, brittle checks. Implement and tune risk-based gating aligned to defined thresholds and acceptance criteria (what must block vs what must be visible). Improve diagnosability via consistent artifacts, enriched run context, and actionable runbooks/playbooks. Ensure AI usage follows LM safety/security procedures and includes appropriate guardrails (accuracy checks, auditability, data handling). Work with the wider Liberty ecosystem of architects and technical leaders to ensure solutions align with enterprise standards, tool selection direction, and quality governance. Contribute improvements back into shared standards and tooling where possible to maximise leverage and consistency across the program. Increased "chain of trust" traceability coverage (requirements -> tests -> release signals).
