Our Purpose

At Xero, we're here to help you supercharge your business. We do this by automating routine tasks, surfacing actionable insights and connecting businesses with the right data, advisors and apps. When that happens, we're not only making life better for small business, we'll be building a stronger economy that can change the world.

The role

You will be a member of a team who are building a stream-oriented data platform. It's designed to speed up product development. The focus is on operational data, not analytics. We aim to build a foundational platform that supplies real-time information to other product teams so they can build products and features quickly.

We use technologies like Flink, Kafka, and Java. The platform is hosted on AWS and uses DynamoDB and Apache Doris to store data. We're looking for senior software engineers with big data and stream processing experience who can operate confidently at the intersection of application and data engineering.

As a Staff Engineer you will lead the charge in shaping the data platform. You'll be instrumental in guiding and mentoring other engineers, fostering their professional development. You will run design sessions, contributing to the strategic vision of our data architecture. Furthermore, your leadership will extend to overseeing end-to-end project delivery, leveraging a strong knowledge of agile methodology, and fostering collaboration across cross-functional teams.

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

  • Self-awareness and a growth mindset
  • A strong commitment to collaboration
  • Openness to learning from failure
  • The ability to bring clarity when things are ambiguous: you seek the answers you need and keep moving forward
  • Strong software engineering experience
