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.

**About the team and role**

This opportunity is for a
**Senior Engineer** to join our front-end focused platform team. Our mission is to provide a reliable platform that enables product teams to seamlessly deliver front-end experiences.

**Understanding how the browser works, CI/CD pipelines, typescript and npm package management is central to this role.**

**This role is not a traditional frontend role**, in that you would
**very rarely touch a visual component**, but it is still important to understand how components work and to be familiar with basic web technologies such as HTML, CSS and of course Javascript. This role is about enabling the teams that do need to use these technologies, and the wider frontend ecosystem, to abstract away domains which are owned and managed separately and to enable our product teams to deliver value and reduce the cost and effort involved.

We believe that a solid technical foundation and strong growth mindset are the keys to success in Software Engineering. So you won’t find a long list of must-have tech requirements below. While you don’t have to have worked with our tech stack previously, what is important is that you have relevant experience that will help you get started quickly, and you are happy to learn as you go.
- As an engineer at Xero, you’ll be joining us on our mission to be one of the most sustainably excellent software engineering companies in the world You’ll have exposure to a variety of complex challenges at a global scale, whether it’s linking payments to different global markets, working on our world-renowned third party ecosystem or delivering solutions to small businesses around the world.

**What you'll bring with you**:

- Knowledge of web fundamentals and best practices: semantic HTML, CSS and modern JavaScript / TypeScript
- ** Experience in these aspects of web development: testing, build tooling, performance, responsive design, security, accessibility, localisation**:

- Confident in upgrading tooling and technology underlying products
- Able to implement resilient software design patterns
- Knowledge of what makes a good API, be it a function, a component, or a web service
- Experience in **helping more junior engineers solve problems** and build their skill sets through collaborative work and mentorship

**What we look for in a Xero Engineer**:

- Self-awareness and growth mindset
- Openness to learning from failure
- Honesty, transparency and encouraging of feedback
- Teamwork and collaboration
- Customer and product focus
- Commitment to supporting an inclusive culture and upholding Xero’s values

**At Xero you will**:

- Join an inclusive cross-functional team and collaborate with Product, Design and Engineering.
- Use the latest engineering and software delivery practices, at scale.
- Support your growth with various training and development resources, including the opportunity to become AWS certified.

**What you'll do**:

- Create software - Care deeply about the problems of our internal product teams. Produce and maintain robust, high-quality, and scalable software aligned to Xero’s web standards. Relentlessly automate any manual processes. Contribute to technical solution designs that embrace a quality-first approach. Participate in code reviews.
- Test software - Design and automate testing activities that effectively reveal product quality across a range of risk areas and acceptance criteria. Collaborate with the team and understand their own responsibility for quality.
- Resolve issues - Triage and solve development and production issues, and be able to quickly track down the root cause. Communicate the impact of the problem to stakeholders in terms of business value, helping to set a priority for the resolution. Actively participate in incident responses.
- Front-end custodian - Assist other teams with domain-specific advice and help them deliver beautiful customer experiences quickly and effortlessly.
- Engineering standards & frameworks - Maintain knowledge of Xero’s current and emerging engineering standards and practices. Develop and deploy software that meets Xero's standards.
- Continuous improvement - Maintain knowledge of current and emerging development technologies and methodologies. Develop expertise in one or more programming languages and ecosystem specific technologies.
- Deliver infrastructure
