What you’ll do

Serve as the primary point of contact for database-related incidents and service requests, ensuring timely research, response, and resolution while meeting or exceeding service-level and customer satisfaction targets.

Provide operational support and lifecycle management for Oracle RDS, Aurora PostgreSQL, and Microsoft SQL Server in AWS multi-AZ environments, across both EC2 and RDS/Aurora platforms.

Perform performance tuning, root-cause troubleshooting, and production support for mission-critical databases, collaborating closely with application and infrastructure teams to reduce high-impact incident resolution times in line with PDO reliability goals.

Assist with daily administration including database setup, configuration, security hardening, monitoring, and backup/restore processes to maintain availability, data integrity, and compliance with internal standards.

Own and action Salesforce ticket queues for schema and security changes, script execution, and non-production refreshes; coordinate change control using Jira for safe, auditable deployments.

Create and maintain high-quality technical documentation—runbooks, knowledge base articles, and troubleshooting guides—that support operational excellence and cross-training across PDO and support teams.

Partner with development and support teams to identify database-related bottlenecks and implement tuning or design recommendations that align with Guidewire’s broader AI-, cloud-, and data-driven platform strategy, helping P&C insurers modernize and improve efficiency.

At Guidewire, we foster a culture of curiosity, innovation, and responsible use of AI—empowering our teams to continuously leverage emerging technologies and data-driven insights to enhance productivity and outcomes.
