Job details

Java Spring Boot with Guidewire ( Full time role ) Toronto, ON Remote Key Responsibilities: Automation and Reducing Toil: SREs write code and build tools to automate repetitive manual tasks (known as "toil"), aiming to spend roughly 50% of their time on software and engineering projects. Incident Response and Management: They act as first-line responders for critical emergencies, handle on-call rotations, troubleshoot failures, and restore service. SLOs, SLAs, and Error Budgets: They define Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and Service Level Agreements (SLAs), managing "error budgets" to balance release speed with system stability. Monitoring and Observability: They set up logging, metrics, and alerting systems (using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, or PagerDuty) to detect problems before they impact users. Post-Incident Reviews: They conduct root cause analysis (postmortems) to ensure failures do not repeat. Capacity Planning: They analyze traffic and usage patterns to forecast future infrastructure and hardware needs. Cross-Team Collaboration: They work alongside software developers to design resilient architectures and make applications more reliable by design. Required Skills: Primary qualifications • Demonstrated experience developing software in Java or a comparable object-oriented language. • Working knowledge of REST APIs, HTTP methods, JSON, and common API design principles. • Familiarity with Spring Boot or another modern backend framework. • Experience writing automated unit tests and debugging application failures. • Familiarity with Git and pull-request-based development. • Ability to read technical documentation, investigate unfamiliar code, and explain findings clearly. • Strong written and verbal communication skills. • Willingness to work collaboratively with developers, testers, analysts, and stakeholders. Additional preferred qualifications • Guidewire and commercial insurance: Guidewire PolicyCenter, Gosu, Guidewire Cloud APIs, commercial property and casualty insurance, underwriting, policy administration, or workflow automation. • API design, integration, and security: OpenAPI/Swagger, JSON Schema, Apigee or another API gateway, API Developer Portal, OAuth 2.0, JWT, mTLS, or certificate-based security. • Event and data integration: Kafka, Schema Registry, event-driven architecture, asynchronous processing, PostgreSQL, Liquibase, or database migration tooling. • Cloud delivery and engineering platforms: GitHub Actions, Harness, AWS, Kubernetes, HashiCorp Vault, infrastructure as code, or comparable CI/CD and cloud technologies. • Automated testing and partner integration: Postman, JUnit, Mockito, Playwright, or experience integrating multiple systems and external partners.
