Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding DevOps Jobs at Guidewire Software Jobs
Align your stack with Guidewire's platform
Guidewire's core product runs on cloud infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines supporting insurance software at enterprise scale. Before applying, make sure your resume reflects experience with tools like Kubernetes, Terraform, or Jenkins that map directly to that environment.
Document cloud certifications before applying
Guidewire operates heavily in cloud-native environments, so AWS, Azure, or GCP certifications strengthen your petition as specialty occupation evidence. USCIS scrutinizes DevOps roles for degree-field alignment, and certifications help close gaps when your degree isn't strictly computer science.
Target roles labeled platform or release engineering
Guidewire posts DevOps work under multiple titles. Searching only for 'DevOps' will miss openings. Browse Migrate Mate's filtered job board to surface Guidewire DevOps-adjacent roles that actively indicate visa sponsorship availability.
Ask about LCA timing before your offer stage
Your employer files the Labor Condition Application with DOL before the H-1B petition goes to USCIS. At Guidewire, confirm whether your offer letter will be contingent on LCA certification, so you know the filing sequence before you resign from a current role.
Clarify CPT or OPT status during the recruiter screen
If you're on F-1 OPT, Guidewire will need to verify your work authorization through E-Verify. Bring your OPT card and Form I-20 to early conversations so the recruiting team can confirm authorization before moving you through technical interviews.
Build a timeline around the H-1B cap and start date
Cap-subject H-1B petitions must be filed by April 1 for an October 1 start date. If Guidewire extends you an offer outside that window, negotiate a start date that aligns with the next cap season or explore whether a cap-exempt pathway applies to your situation.

Find DevOps at Guidewire Software JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Guidewire Software sponsor H-1B visas for DevOps roles?
Yes, Guidewire Software sponsors H-1B visas for DevOps positions. The company has an established process for filing H-1B petitions on behalf of qualified engineers, including handling the Labor Condition Application with DOL and the I-129 petition with USCIS. Sponsorship is typically tied to a specific role and location, so confirm the details during the offer stage.
Which visa types does Guidewire Software commonly use for DevOps roles?
Guidewire sponsors several visa categories for DevOps engineers. H-1B is the most common for full-time hires. F-1 OPT and CPT are supported for students and recent graduates. TN visas are available for Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying roles. For longer-term pathways, Guidewire also supports EB-2 and EB-3 Green Card sponsorship through the PERM labor certification process.
What qualifications does Guidewire Software expect for DevOps roles?
Guidewire typically looks for a bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems, or a related engineering field. Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines, containerization, cloud platforms, and infrastructure-as-code is expected. For USCIS specialty occupation purposes, the degree field should align with the specific DevOps responsibilities in the job description, so tailoring your application materials to the role requirements matters.
How do I apply for DevOps jobs at Guidewire Software?
You can find and filter Guidewire Software's DevOps openings that indicate visa sponsorship on Migrate Mate, which aggregates sponsoring employers in one place. Once you identify a matching role, apply directly through Guidewire's careers portal. Prepare to discuss your visa status early in the recruiter screen, since Guidewire will need to assess sponsorship eligibility before advancing your candidacy.
How long does the visa sponsorship process take at Guidewire Software?
Timeline depends on the visa type. An H-1B cap-subject petition filed in April starts employment October 1, a roughly six-month window. DOL LCA certification typically takes seven to ten business days before the H-1B petition can be submitted to USCIS. PERM labor certification for Green Card sponsorship can take one to two years or longer. Factor these timelines into your start date negotiations with Guidewire's recruiting team.
