We also enable engineers across Xero through developing, supporting and integrating a collection of proprietary and off the shelf tooling to enable incident management and response, incident analysis and learning, monitoring and observability and resource ownership. We surface data and metrics, and provide detailed insights across operational health, production operations and developer productivity.

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. In these roles, you will have the opportunity to leverage your technical experience to drive & contribute to team deliverables and also broader SRE and Xero initiatives.

- Contribute to the delivery of projects aligned with team goals, solving ambiguous problems with innovative solutions.
- Design and maintain robust software components, understanding when to refactor or maintain existing systems.

- Advocate for continuous improvement of systems and processes within the team, and across the organisation
- Establish reliable processes for feature rollouts, monitor success metrics, and ensure system health and quality

**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
