Software Engineer Iii - Localization

The Globalization team within Guidewire’s Product Development & Operations organization, translates application UIs, documentation, education & training material into many languages, and helps teams internationalize products.

We’re Looking To Improve And/or Increase Our Use Of The Following

We currently have a good set of tooling that automates translation workflows, but there’s more to do.

Workflow automation

Machine translation

Machine learning; training and use of large language models where appropriate

Programmatic evaluation of translation quality

Your experience might not precisely match - esp. as it pertains to the domain of translation and its many nuances. That’s fine. We can teach you that. Fundamentally you’re a competent developer and problem solver. Your grit and readiness to learn and grow will stand out, and you might be the one who challenges our assumptions about this role requirements.

This will be a hybrid role based out of Toronto/Mississauga, with 8-10 office days per month required.

In This Role You Will

• Lead by example and be looked to for technical guidance in code and design reviews.
• Work on the architecture, design and development of new features while working with the latest cloud technologies
• Collaborate with others, while also having lots of autonomy to propose & implement new solutions
• Work to understand workflow problems, and design automation to solve

You’ll Find Success In This Role If You

• Maintain an open mind and an aptitude for continuous improvement, learning, and exploration of new technologies
• Able to learn quickly in a fast-paced dynamic environment while also efficiently communicating your ideas and suggestions
• Love working across internal teams to influence them for our mutual benefit
• Share our core values: Collegiality, Integrity, and Rationality
• Have an ability to bring industry trends, thought leadership and innovative solutions to software design, development
• Have hands-on experience with (or want to get) Docker, AWS, TeamCity
• Solid experience in software development, with a focus on Java, Microservices, and React.js/Typescript.
• Measure your success in terms of team and business impact, not lines of code.
• Have a strong technical background, including 5+ years of experience in software design and development
• Love looking at existing processes, dissecting, understanding, identifying which steps are best suited for automation / tooling

It’d be great if you already have some exposure to:

• Translation automation and the (many) types of issues that can arise
• Translation Management Systems
• Machine learning / LLMs / machine translation
