Wellington City, 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 full-time in February 2024

**The role**

The security of our product is fundamental to Xero. The security teams work with all areas of the business to ensure our systems are secure. We keep the good in and the bad out. We help engineers produce secure products, defend Xero from cyber attacks, and do everything in between.

You’ll have the opportunity to rotate within different security teams, or spend one or more rotations in our core technical program. You’ll be self-driven, enjoy collaborating with different teams across the business, and thrive on technical challenges. All you need is an interest in security, you don’t need to have studied it.

**Security Analyst**

Security analysts focus on the less code-heavy aspects of cyber security. The role values people with a keen eye for detail, naturally inquisitive skills, and a drive for upholding the safety of our customers. The role covers a range of duties including:

- assessing Xero’s security risks
- helping Xero pass security audits
- assisting in security education campaigns
- monitoring Xero for cyber attacks
- being involved in security incidents by defending Xero as attacks occur

**What we’d like to see from you**

Ideally you’ll:

- have a passion for and express interest in the security and privacy of our customers 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 Xeros, removing pain points and making their lives easier
- diving deep and analysing root causes of issues and potential vulnerabilities

**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 late September through to early October.

**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.
