Our culture & values 

We’d describe our culture as human, friendly, supportive, agile and super collaborative. 

At Xero, our five values underpin everything we do, from the way we work to how we delight and deliver to our customers.

Our values are #Human #Team #Beautiful #Ownership and #Challenge. They create our special culture and the ‘Xero way’ that we want to foster and maintain as we scale and grow at speed. They’re integral to our brand and resonate outside Xero through our ecosystem and ultimately our customers.

How you’ll make an impact as a Senior DevOps Engineer

You will work in a cross-functional product development team that includes Engineers, Designers and Product Managers.  The purpose of your role is to work with these teams to enable and empower them to deliver software to our customers faster and more efficiently.

You’ll ensure infrastructure tooling and automation is an enabler of organisational agility with a strong focus on supporting the development teams through build and deploy excellence. You’ll ensure the products the cross-functional team uses are available, secure, scalable, robust, high performing and cost effective to serve our customers.

What you’ll use

You’ll work across a broad set of technology domains including OS (Windows & Linux), Web servers (expeccially IIS), Containerisation (docker & kubernetes). You will also be across PaaS and IaaS services offered by AWS (such as EC2,, S3, RDS & ECS).

You will be across technologies used throughout the SDLC such as source control systems like Git, build tools such as TeamCity & Jenkins, deployment tools such as AWS CodeDeploy & Octopus Deploy and last but not least, you will be monitoring the impact of your releases using Sumologic, New Relic & CloudWatch 

About you 

You’ll have hands-on experience managing cloud infrastructure (ideally AWS), you’ll be just as passionate as we are about engineering excellence and being better tomorrow than we were today and you'll enjoy working closely with product teams to bring software to our customers as seamlessly as possible.
