Senior Application Engineer - AI

About this role

Summary

Guidewire is seeking a Senior Product Engineer to join our Professional Services AI Engineering team in Bangalore. In our Core & Satellite model, you will work on the development side of our Strike Teams — reporting to the Engineering Manager and pairing with a Senior AI Engineer to deliver production-grade, customer-facing AI features end-to-end.

This is a hands-on senior engineering role. You own the dev work for your features end-to-end, build using AI coding tools like Claude Code, and operate inside platform blueprints set by the Platform Architect, AI Architect, and QA Architect — so you can focus on shipping the product rather than re-inventing infrastructure.

Job Description

• End-to-End Feature Delivery: Own the dev work on a Strike Team — REST APIs, frontend wiring, feature logic, and integration with AI components — for one high-complexity or strategic AI productization project at a time.
• Technical Execution: Make day-to-day implementation calls, contribute to design reviews, and make sound trade-off decisions on your features; escalate cross-cutting concerns to the Engineering Manager.
• AI Integration: Partner with your AI Engineer to bring LLM-based components into production paths — prompt invocation, response handling, fallbacks, observability. You'll shape how these components are integrated, collaborate on the design decisions that affect the product, and bring the AI Architect in on the deeper algorithmic calls.
• Platform & Standards Consumption: Build on top of the team’s shared CI/CD, vector DB, auth, QA, and UI/UX foundations. Push back to the horizontal layer when something is missing or wrong.
• Code Quality & Mentorship: Set a high bar for code review, testing, and engineering hygiene through your own work. Mentor the Consultant Product Engineer and the AI pairing partners.
• AI-Native Development: Leverage AI coding tools (Claude Code, Copilot) to accelerate delivery while maintaining a high quality bar.
