Java Integration Developer

Overview

We're scaling our Integration portfolio and need a high-velocity Java Integration Developer who can hit the ground running, operate with enterprise discipline, and deliver seamless, production-grade integration outcomes. The role demands someone who thrives in fast-paced delivery cycles, is open to working on Guidewire integrations, and brings a strong engineering mindset with zero dependency culture.Core Responsibilities

• Architect, design, and implement high-throughput Java-based integration services across enterprise insurance systems.
• Build and enhance REST/SOAP APIs, microservices, event-driven components, and middleware connectors used in complex carrier environments.
• Develop Guidewire integration layers (BillingCenter, PolicyCenter, ClaimCenter) including GOSU-agnostic API consumption, edge adapters, message-driven interfaces, and cloud-integrated workflows.
• Own E2E integration lifecycle — requirements analysis, solution design, development, performance tuning, hardening, deployment, and post-implementation stabilisation.
• Lead integration patterns using Java, Spring Boot, messaging frameworks (Kafka or JMS), JSON/XML transformations, and data orchestration pipelines.
• Collaborate with SI teams to ensure integrations are aligned with Guidewire Cloud standards, API contracts, and upgrade-safe frameworks.
• Drive exception-handling strategies, resiliency patterns, idempotency design, and fault-tolerant architectures across integration touchpoints.
• Partner with QA, DevOps, and Onshore delivery leads to ensure CI/CD alignment, automated test coverage, and production-ready quality gates.
• Produce clear technical documentation covering sequence flows, interface specifications, deployment models, and versioning standards.
• Act as a force multiplier in scaling Java+Guidewire integration maturity across new client engagements.
• Mentor junior developers and ensure consistency in coding standards, review cycles, and architectural guardrails.
  

Required Skills

• Strong engineering background with 8+ years in Java, Spring/Spring Boot, REST/SOAP services, and integration-heavy ecosystems.
• Hands-on exposure to Guidewire integration patterns (edge APIs, messaging, cloud connectors) or readiness to quickly scale into the Guidewire integration stack.
• Solid command of integration frameworks, message brokers, security protocols (OAuth2/JWT), and cloud-hosted service models.
• Demonstrated expertise in building scalable, low-latency, fault-tolerant integration services for enterprise clients.
• Strong debugging, log-trace analysis, and performance troubleshooting capabilities.
• Ability to operate under pressure, manage tight timelines, and drive outcomes with minimal supervision.
  

Preferred Skills

• Experience in insurance or InsurTech ecosystems.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, containerization, and cloud deployment models.
• Guidewire Cloud certification (nice to have but not mandatory).
