2025 Graduate Engineer

2 weeks ago


Manukau, Auckland, New Zealand Xero Full time
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.

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.

Because when they succeed they make a difference, and when millions of small businesses are making a difference, the world is a more beautiful place.


Our eligibility criteria for the graduate program:

  • Full-time working rights
  • Fewer than 12 months professional working experience in relevant industries
  • Availability to start fulltime in February 2025

The role
As a graduate engineer you'll have the opportunity to rotate through different specialisations in both product and platform teams.

In our platform teams we build things that last a long time and that everyone relies on. Rotations include platform development, site and data reliability, development, architecture, integration, and platform-as-a-service engineers.


With a choice of rotations throughout the grad year, you're empowered to drive your own learning and explore different teams and ways of working.

This will help you decide what is most important to you at this stage of your career and what you'd like to focus on.


What we'd like to see from you

Ideally you'll:

- be able to take a logical approach to work and cope well with change
- be a great communicator who likes working in agile teams
- like working with servers or data, and if you like to script or write code then that's a great combo
- love problem solving, thinking on your feet, helping other people and taking the initiative
- enjoy investigating why things work, not just how they work
- enjoy building solutions for other Xero staff, removing pain points and making their lives easier

As a graduate engineer, you'll get:

  • three rotations across the technology teams in your grad year
- access to learning programs to build on your professional and technical skills
- support from your mentors, managers and the grad team
- networking opportunities across our global teams

How to apply


If you are eligible for this role and you pass the initial eligibility stage, you will be sent a selection of online assessments (behavioural and technical) as well as a video interview via Talegent.

If successful from our online assessments, you will be invited to a Grad Day which will include technical and soft skills interviews, as well as group and individual challenges.

Our Grad Days will be held from mid-late May 2024.

Why Xero?
At Xero we pride ourselves on our award-winning junior talent programs.

In 2021 alone, we won the NZAGE Best Graduate Development program and were ranked as the top Graduate Employer by GradNew Zealand.

Our junior talent programs are focused on learning and wellbeing.

Xero supports many types of flexible working arrangements that allow you to balance your work, your life and your passions.

Our work environment encourages continuous improvement and career development and you'll get to work with the latest technology too.

As part of our junior talent program, you'll have access to a people lead, buddy and team lead to support you in your wellbeing and professional development.
