- ~2–4 years of professional software engineering experience, including substantial front-end work.

About Guidewire & The Jutro Mission
Join Guidewire’s Product Development & Operations (PDO) organization to build the Jutro Digital Platform- the shared UI foundation that powers modern, cloud-based experiences for P&C insurers worldwide. At Guidewire, we’re changing the face of insurance by developing and delivering technology that powers the future of the property & casualty industry. We’re a global team of 3,500+ working at scale and speed on a billion-dollar cloud platform that gives insurers the tools they need to take care of their customers.By joining the Jutro team in Kraków, you aren’t just building features- you’re crafting the digital foundation for the entire industry. Our primary clients are fellow frontend developers. You'll be supporting 70+ internal Guidewire applications, along with a rapidly growing list of external insurers who rely on our Jutro libraries to power their user experiences, enabling thousands of developers worldwide to build scalable, beautiful, and accessible web experiences.
Jutro is the modern digital layer for Guidewire Cloud. We provide the SDKs, design system, and sophisticated tooling that allow our customers to differentiate their brands. Our work is the bridge between complex insurance logic and human-centric design, powering a billion-dollar cloud platform that serves insurers and their customers at their most critical moments.
The Role: Building the Engine for Insurance UI
As a Software Engineer II (P2) on the Jutro front-end team, you are at the heart of our mission. You will work at the exciting intersection of UI craft and AI-assisted engineering, evolving from a contributor to a true feature champion. This role is designed for high-impact growth, supported by structured mentorship from senior experts and a culture that celebrates engineering excellence and innovation.
You’ll be supported through structured mentoring from senior engineers (pairing, code and design reviews, regular feedback) and are expected, over time, to act as a feature champion for selected areas, owning them end-to-end at the story and small-feature level.
How We Work
- Hybrid: expected in-office presence 8-10 days per month in Kraków (typically last week Mon-Thu + Tue/Wed on other weeks).
- Strong focus on engineering craft (code quality, tests, design docs) and collaborative problem-solving.
- We treat AI as a power tool and automation engine, not a replacement: you’ll be encouraged to experiment and help us automate more of our workflows, but you remain the owner of your work.
