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. We support our people to do the best work of their lives so that they can help small businesses succeed through better tools, information, and connections.

About the Team

Our Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team is responsible for driving and influencing Xero to provide the most reliable experience for our customers. We are a global team based across multiple locations, and we combine software and systems engineering to enable engineers across Xero to build and support products that are observable, stable, performant, tolerant to failure, and operate as intended in the face of varying conditions.

We strive to maximise the impact of post-incident learning across the organisation to improve the reliability and robustness of the Xero platform, while providing enablement and training across observability, reliability engineering, incident management, and service ownership.

About the Roles

We are currently seeking Software Engineers within our Reliability Tooling and Engineering Health teams in Site Reliability Engineering (SRE). Our teams develop and integrate a collection of tools that enable teams at Xero to easily visualise and manage operations and incidents, to support reliability, operational excellence, continuous delivery, and engineering productivity at Xero.

As a member of our Reliability Tooling and Engineering Health teams, you will help enable and empower Xero engineering teams to improve their engineering practices by:

  • Contributing to the delivery of projects aligned with team goals, solving ambiguous problems with innovative solutions.
  • Designing and maintaining robust software components, understanding when to refactor or maintain existing systems.
  • Making data-driven decisions, balancing various perspectives to achieve well-rounded solutions.
  • Advocating for continuous improvement of systems and processes within the team, and across the organisation.
  • Establishing reliable processes for feature rollouts, monitoring success metrics, and ensuring system health and quality.
  • Exposure to on-call duties, including incident management and response, troubleshooting efforts, as well as conducting post-incident reviews and learning from incidents.

In order to be successful in this role, you will have:

  • Experience using software engineering to solve operational, reliability challenges, and deliver technical initiatives.
  • Proficiency in one or more object-oriented programming languages (e.g. C#, JavaScript, Java, Python) or experience with infrastructure-as-code (e.g. Terraform, Cloudformation).
  • Experience working with cloud providers such as AWS, Azure, or GCP, alongside experience with logging and monitoring tooling such as Sumo Logic and New Relic.
  • Experience with designing, developing, and operating internal developer tooling, in a complex distributed systems environment.
  • Strong experience working in a DevOps environment, preferably with exposure to more mature CICD practices and capabilities.
  • The ability to work in a cross-functional, collaborative environment and identify technical dependencies to ensure project success.

Why Xero?

We offer a range of benefits, including generous paid leave, dedicated paid leave to care for your physical and mental wellbeing, health insurance, life insurance, and income protection. We also provide wellbeing and sports programmes, employee resource groups, 26 weeks of paid parental leave for primary caregivers, an Employee Share Plan, beautiful offices, flexible working, career development, and many other benefits that reflect our human value.
