Xero is a beautiful, easy-to-use platform that helps small businesses and their accounting and bookkeeping advisors grow and thrive.

At Xero, our purpose is to make life better for people in small business, their advisors, and communities around the world. This purpose sits at the centre of everything we do.

**About the team**:
Platform Enablement is a cross-functional agile infrastructure development team. The Platform team builds platform products to enable Xero development teams to build and ship software in a fast, reliable and secure manner. Platform leverages modern cloud computing tooling and continuous integration practices. Through our customer centric approach we aim to reduce the cognitive load for Xero Product teams.

They embed with teams or engage through targeted projects to tackle complex, high-priority work which fast-tracks uplifting systems to follow best practices. For example, migrating systems from manually-created EC2 instances to immutable containers running on Kubernetes, or implementing automated build/deploy pipelines in CI configured via code.

Our product engineering teams are their “internal customer” - so working effectively across a large group of people as a team is a key to success. They operate Delivery & Support services centered on uplifting non-functional aspects of software, through enabling and helping engineers to continuously improve their systems. They take pride in measurement, and extend this to capturing feedback from our customers to learn and improve on the services we deliver to them.
