Summer 2023 - Software Developer intern - Madrid Spain

 

We live by our core values every day.  

At Guidewire, we value people at every stage of their career and try to minimize those barriers for collaboration. It is reflected in how we communicate with each other company-wide and on projects.  Every engineer and consultant bring something to the table whether in the earlier years of their career or after a long and successful progression.   We strive for integrity in all that we do:  truthful relationships with customers, prospective customers, partners, investors, and each other.  As we grow, our commitment to integrity has only increased. 

 

We prize clear, rational and collaborative communications on our projects that is plainly based on logic, total commitment to quality, and to making decisions based on factual evidence.  You would be working on a team that is comprised of professional equals with a minimum of hierarchy. We don’t place high importance on titles; it’s more about what you do.

 

We know who we are. Guidewire is a software company.

Our customers are insurance companies, and insurance software is surprisingly complex, difficult to get right, and actually a lot of fun to work on. Demand for our software is on the rise, and we are growing to meet the needs of the market.

 

Guidewire is offering a 12 week Summer internship program in summer 2023. The program is designed to give active Undergraduate college students, or those registered in a masters’ program, an opportunity to write software and interact with others in a real-world business environment.

 

You will be part of our Professional Services division in our Madrid office, where you will work with a dedicated mentor and other international fellow interns on a software project. You will experience what it’s like to be part of an Agile development team.

 

Guidewire is an Agile development shop: we do iterative development, break features into stories, work in priority order, encourage pair programming and more. Our focus is to make the highest quality software for our customers and deliver it on-time. We spend a significant amount of time focusing on software development as a craft. If you intern here, you will collaborate with teammates, mentors and stakeholders while learning what it means to be a professional consultant developer.

 

Our hiring is as methodical, rational and stringent as our development standards…

To be considered you should be an undergraduate student of a BSc in Computer Science or studying for an MSc from a third level or higher education institution.  We care most about your critical thinking skills and technical talent. However, experience and skills with the following will be helpful:

·       Programming in Java, or any modern OO programming language

·       Algorithms and object-oriented design

·       Web-based applications and technologies

·       HTML, Javascript, AJAX, ExtJS, NodeJS

·       The mission then translates into core values that we live by daily: We value integrity in everything we do; an atmosphere of collegiality – we help each other to ensure customer success and operate as a meritocracy; and rationality – 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.
