We know that a diverse workforce is a strength that enables businesses, including ours, to better understand and serve customers, attract top talent and innovate successfully.

About the role
We're a group that own core systems that are key to the success of Xero's main subscription product, and power our 3rd party app ecosystem.
Our ownership of these means that we are often solving some of the hardest problems Xero has, and in the process even achieving some things that people said couldn't be done.
We're an awesome group for someone who loves to learn, and that's because you'll be growing your knowledge and skills from the minute you join our team and we can almost guarantee there won't be a day where you don't learn something new. This learning and growth comes as a result of the work we do, but also because our group deliberately creates opportunities to learn - we have at least a half day of Personal Development time per week each, a training budget per person that you can invest in your learning, a weekly Engineering Club where we learn together, and Lightning Talks where we learn from each other, as well as the company wide opportunities such as multiple communities of practice. We want to know what you want to learn and experience and we try hard to make that happen if we can. We understand that everyone learning and growing is not only good for them, but good for our group and for wider Xero.
We're known within Xero as a group that has a lot of influence in some of our biggest Xero-wide programs of work, and in a large part are key to their success, so we're not just looking after what we own but we're helping shape the technological future of Xero.
