Guidewire Ireland
Established in 2011, Guidewire's Irish centre helps meet a growing global customer demand for expertise in implementing Guidewire's products. The Dublin centre, now our second largest office outside of Silicon Valley, was established to extend our core applications to accelerate the delivery of critical new product functionality to our customers.. We use the same rigorous, quality-focused methodology that Guidewire's customers have come to expect from the rest of the core system suite.
Why Guidewire?
- Join us at the time when we are building the team in Ireland into a world-class software development, consulting and services centre. Each individual has the opportunity to make an impact on the business and processes.
- In the words of Marcus Ryu, one of our original founders:
“In starting Guidewire, our primary motivation was to build a better company. We wanted Guidewire to be different from other places we had worked: more honest, more dedicated to customers, more committed to quality. We would always tell the truth, hire the most capable people we could find, and foster a collaborative, high-performing work environment. And we would meet a fundamental market need.â€
- The mission then translates into core values that we live by daily: We value integrity in everything we do; an atmosphere of collegiality â€" we help each other to ensure customer success and operate as a meritocracy; and rationality â€" making decisions based on factual evidence.
- Work with an enterprise-class software product company deploying small, elite teams to solve complex problems in an Agile environment. Insurance core systems must be capable of supporting thousands of concurrent users, millions of transactions, and integration to complex enterprise IT environments. Moreover, they must have the complete reliability and performance required of financial systems-of-record.
- We work on demanding software engineering projects for our core system built on modern service-oriented enterprise architecture, with no legacy code.
- At Guidewire we invest in and grow our own talent from within. We send our team members to our Silicon Valley offices for intense training and certification in their first month.
