You will independently solve complex problems across Xero’s products, ensuring technical excellence while navigating the complexity between regional needs and global roadmaps to deliver maximum value.

Get ready for diverse, high-impact work that touches every corner of Xero. You’ll tackle projects anywhere across Xero’s products from Payments to Accounting to Payroll, offering you unparalleled exposure to our entire platform.

Where and how you can work

Xero is a “Great Place to Work UK” accredited company. We offer remote, hybrid or office based roles (hybrid and in-office in London, Milton Keynes or Manchester).

As this role involves partnering with global teams, you can expect opportunities for travel as we collaborate with colleagues around the world.

• You thrive in an environment of high visibility, using your communication skills to engage with stakeholders and grow your professional influence.
• Experience in resilient software design and agile development helps you maintain a fast-track delivery pace across diverse projects.
