The Xero Platform as a Service team exists to unlock product innovation by providing a world-class foundational platform for Xero’s product teams to deploy and operate services on, abstracting away the complexities that operating cloud infrastructure usually entails, and enabling product teams to focus on delivering additional value for Xero’s customers.

It’s a key role that ensures that Xero maintains a good level of operational health and assists in ensuring the business is working on the right thing.
**What you'll do**:
- Develop and maintain high quality and scalable solutions that make it easy for product teams to focus on their customers.
- Work closely with product teams to help them ensure software is running within agreed operational parameters.
- Keep Xero’s and the PaaS team’s vision and values at the forefront of decision-making and actions.
- Maintain an in-depth knowledge of technology advances relevant to Xero’s engineering environment.
**What you'll bring with you**:
- Previous experience in a infrastructure / DevOps / software engineering role
- An understanding of cloud infrastructure and networking
- Experience in a range of programming languages and development tools
- Experience with agile software development methodology
- An ability to communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
- Experience working with search and analytics engines (e.g. Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, Sumo Logic, Splunk) would be a bonus

You can choose to perform this role:
- In one of our #beautiful offices
- Flexibly, through a hybrid of in office and remote working styles
