About the Team 
The Data team is responsible for driving the adoption of data driven decision making across Xero - for both our internal users and our global audience of small business owners, bookkeepers and accountants.
We create, manage and deliver a wide range of data services and products including core reporting, key data dimensions, extensible and scalable analytical data processing and storage facilities, machine learning frameworks and API driven prediction services.

Xero views the application of intelligent, data-driven products and services at scale as a key competitive advantage for our business, now and into the future.

As part of a cross-functional team including engineers, designers and product owners you will build and operate beautiful, intelligent products and services that delight our users everyday. What you'll do:
  • Immerse yourself in Xero's data, wrangling often complex and messy data and contribute to our shared understanding of the value contained in our data stores.
  • Apply sound scientific methods (i.e. hypothesis generation, experimentation, analysis) to drive product development (e.g. model development, model evaluation, POC design).
  • Lead in hypothesis driven experimentation and deliver measurable impact through holdouts.
  • Work to achieve and maintain high personal coding standards, collaborating with other scientists and engineers to produce robust and reproducible code
  • Together with engineers, maintain and operate the end-to-end pipelines that support data-intensive applications at Xero.
What you'll bring with you:
  • Previous practical (3+ years) experience in a similar analytics role.
  • Experience with data querying languages (e.g. SQL), scripting languages (e.g. Python), and/or statistical/mathematical software (e.g. R).
  • Bachelor's, Masters, or Ph.D in Mathematics, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field; or equivalent practical experience.
  • Ability to grasp the mathematical concepts that underpin the domains outlined above.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to tailor a message for peers, and stakeholders (technical and non-technical).
