What we do

It’s no surprise that the Xero platform team is all about creating a consistent, secure and reliable environment for developers to test and deploy their code quickly and often. We use cloud technology to make our infrastructure highly-scalable, which is important to us. We also automate server configuration management and the software build and deploy processes – which helps us deliver immutable infrastructure and fault tolerant systems that can handle huge amounts of internet traffic.

What you do

Platform engineering grads roll up their sleeves and get to work. This means problem solving with AWS, Windows Servers, Linux, SQL, Postgres, content delivery networks, load balancers, firewalls and network security. At last count, there are over 3,000 servers in testing, failover and production.

If this sounds like a great challenge and you embrace the value of continuous deployment, platform-wide monitoring and analytics, and automating infrastructure – then join us.

Requirements

The teams focus on service and respect different opinions and great technical skills. We take an agile approach to our work, so that we can work fast and build what our teammates need. That’s why we welcome students with a range of qualifications. Ideally, you:

• like working with servers or data. But if you love to script or write code, too, that’s a great skill combination for us.

• love problem solving, thinking on your feet, helping people and taking initiative.

• enjoy knowing why things work, not just how they work.

Important stuff

There are exciting opportunities for graduates. So if you have the cap and gown in view – and want a permanent gig – then a Xero graduate role is just for you.

What we do

Xero dev is a dynamic workspace and codebase with an incredibly fast release cycle – multiple times a day, with thousands of releases a year. Our API team is high volume and processes 260 million API calls each month. Every day, we build and iterate on the software that our users love.

What you do

Dev interns and grads join a wide range of small product teams, including those that build new strategic applications, make our existing applications even more beautiful, focus on our mobile platform, and ensure that our apps remain highly-available, secure, scalable, robust and high-performing.

Step into our world of full stack developers, front-end and back-end specialists, and quality assurance engineers. You see your code make a difference in the lives of Xero users after each release. You work across front-end and back-end components for web, mobile and APIs that build on top of .NET, open-source web frameworks, and Android and iOS – all deployed and managed through AWS.

As a grad developer, you have the opportunity to rotate through different product teams – and engage with mentors to be sure that you experience different career paths before you choose which to pursue. And we’ll help you become a competent, confident full stack developer in your first year.

Requirements

The teams are proactive communicators who take initiative and come up with great ideas. We are agile, diverse and passionate about what we do and motivated to take it to the next level. That’s why we welcome students with a range of qualifications. Ideally, you:

• have a passion for writing code and also appreciate the customer experience.

• can prove your technical chops by showing us what you’ve been working on outside of school. Perhaps you played around with a new framework, learned a new language, built (or partially built) something, been active on Stack Overflow or have a great GitHub profile.

• are a great communicator and team player – and can take a logical, analytical approach to your work, cope with change and be eager to learn.

Important stuff

There are exciting opportunities for both interns and graduates. If you:

• are a junior- or senior-level student – and seek the atypical summer job experience – apply for an intern role.

• have the cap and gown in view – and want a permanent gig – the graduate role is just for you.
