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.

Who’s the team?

The mission of this team is to uplift and govern our Cloud Platforms, with a focus on GCP. We're a collective of engineers from varying backgrounds that focus our efforts on making our platform and applications easy to use for our engineers. We build guard rails rather than roadblocks, and strive to make it easy for our customers to ship secure products with as little friction as possible.

What’s the role?

As a Senior Security Engineer, you’ll be hands-on solving problems at scale in our GCP environment. You’ll become deeply familiar with the capabilities of our vendors to build and support modern and adaptable security services that will delight our customers. We run mission-critical infrastructure, and you’ll build resilient and scalable systems. Automation will be the standard for you, and you’ll seek new and interesting ways to reduce our operational overheads. Most importantly, you’ll be a team player and get to work with an awesome group of engineers in an amazing and unique working environment.

What you'll do:
  • Ensure Xero Platform Security solutions are deployed and managed in a repeatable, reliable manner.
  • Work with Platform and Product teams to design the security architecture for cloud-based solutions.
  • Be eager to improve current processes and have an understanding of Continuous Integration/Delivery; develop and maintain documentation.
  • Administer and support tools such as Okta, and work to automate security-related GCP services (such as IAM, Org policies, KMS, Network Security, Security Command Center).
  • Work with the Xero Security Teams and Production Platform services to ensure that any escalated incidents and problems are resolved in a timely and comprehensive manner.
  • Coaching and mentorship, help teach small groups of engineers and contribute to Xero's shared knowledge base.
  • Participate in the 24/7 on-call roster as required.
What you'll bring:
  • Google Cloud Platform experience is essential as you'll focus on securing our GCP environment. While AWS remains our primary cloud provider, familiarity with AWS and some knowledge of Azure would be beneficial.
  • Working Knowledge with IAM, Compute, Networking, Cloud Storage, and Databases.
  • Previous experience in a Security Engineering position, with at least basic understanding of network and system administration, and a keen interest in growing your knowledge & skills in this area.
  • The ability to support and understand the different solutions we use to across our platform systems, including a willingness to write code in Python and other scripting languages.
  • You'll be a proactive champion of agile and delivery practices, who coaches and develops others in this space in order to ensure a consistent approach to ways of working; complemented with a strong drive to work in a team-oriented and collaborative environment.
  • A passion for delivering high-quality products to your customers.

We truly value inclusivity and diversity in our Xero Security teams. We recently won an award for “Best place to work for Women in Security in New Zealand.” Research has shown that often underrepresented and neurodiverse candidates will only apply for roles if they meet all the criteria. We make our hiring decisions based on passion, experience, and potential so please apply even if you can’t tick every box

Please note, applications are open until EOD Monday 25th November; we'll follow up with successful applicants once closed.

Why Xero?

Offering very generous paid leave to use however you’d like (plus statutory holidays), dedicated paid leave to care for your physical and mental wellbeing as well as an Employee Assistance Program to access mental health care for you and your family, free medical insurance, wellbeing and sports programmes, employee resource groups, 26 weeks of paid parental leave for primary caregivers, an Employee Share Plan, beautiful offices, flexible working, career development, and many other benefits that reflect our human value, you’ll do the best work of your life at Xero.
