- Comfortable with Agile methodologies
- Successful track record of providing tooling and support for multiple development teams
- Ideally experience with improving release processes and deployment pipelines using approaches like blue/green deployments, canary releases and testing in production
- Have experience building and maintaining highly available systems ideally with Systems such as Terraform or Cloudformation
- Experienced working in a DevOps, Release Engineering, Development, or similar role
- Ideally good experience with Test-driven or Spec-driven testing and QA practices
- Strong experience with Linux administration, and Infrastructure management
- Experience and a passion for mentoring junior team members

**In addition we’re also looking for**:

- Experience in a range of languages (.Net, Python)
- Able to make code design decisions for individual products
- Proficient in the architecture and implementation of distributed systems. Ability to refactor complex, monolithic systems into scalable, resilient components.
- Proficient with CI/CD concepts and tooling
- Strong advocate for automated tooling to safely and repeatedly release code
- Ability to review and coordinate team processes to improve quality and strengthen feedback loops

**Why Xero**
- Our collaborative and inclusive culture is one we’re immensely proud of. We know that a diverse workforce is a strength that enables businesses, including ours, to better understand and serve customers, attract top talent and innovate successfully.
