ABOUT THE ROLE
We are seeking detail-oriented Guidewire Quality Assurance Analysts or Engineers to support testing and quality assurance across complex insurance transformation engagements. You will play a critical role in ensuring that Guidewire implementations are delivered with confidence — validating that platform configurations, integrations, and customisations behave as intended, business requirements are met, and defects are identified and resolved before they reach production.
This role suits a QA professional who brings hands-on experience testing within Guidewire environments and is equally comfortable working within structured test plans and adapting to fast-moving Agile sprints. Whether your background is in manual testing, test automation, or a blend of both, what matters most is your commitment to quality, your ability to think like both an end user and a systems thinker, and your capacity to communicate defects and risks clearly to delivery teams and stakeholders.
Guidewire certifications are a strong differentiator for this role and are actively highlighted in how we present your profile to clients. If you hold one or more Guidewire certifications, we want to know about them — and we will make sure clients do too.
