The role & impact As an Engineering Manager, you will own the roadmap and strategy for your team end-to-end, setting direction, making prioritisation calls, and driving the delivery of high-quality software through high-performing, inclusive teams. You won't just manage the work; you will be a genuine technical voice in the room, leading system design discussions, navigating architectural trade-offs, and shaping how the team evolves its technical foundations. Your impact spans both delivery velocity and technical excellence. You will actively contribute to critical engineering decisions, from system architecture and platform design to build-vs-buy trade-offs, while championing AI-native workflows and guiding your team to hone their craft in ways that deliver meaningful business and customer outcomes. The team You will lead a coordinated platform or product-focused team where building trust through transparency and seeking diverse perspectives are core to how we work. As an equal partner with Product and Design, you will co-own the strategic direction of your domain — resolving dependencies early, influencing product thinking with technical insight, and creating a sustainable environment where engineers can do their best work. We’re currently recruiting for three teams in NZ - Payments, Small Business Experience and Inventory.

Your team serves approximately 70% of Xero's global subscriber base , which means the systems you oversee directly impact millions of customers worldwide. This is a role for someone who thrives in a high-stakes environment and wants to modernize legacy systems while maintaining a relaxed, collaborative team culture. Inventory You'll lead a distributed 9-person engineering team across Auckland, Wellington, and remote NZ locations. Inventory is on a mission to help small and mid-sized product-based businesses keep their accounting accurate and simple. You'll own a team that's directly responsible for closing critical gaps in functionality and modernizing core systems—with tangible feedback from customers proving the impact of your work. This is a role for a technical leader with strong operational mindset and a track record of delivering and maintaining high-availability systems. Where and how you can work This role can be based in Auckland or Wellington in New Zealand, with some scope for remote NZ location for one of the engineering teams. We offer a hybrid working model that balances local team presence with a global scope of work. You will have the flexibility to work from home while connecting with your colleagues in our modern office spaces during designated boost days. Here are some of the things we are looking for You champion AI-native practices in engineering (AI-assisted PR reviews, code generation, tooling, agentic workflows) and turn experimentation into durable practice. You bring a proven track record of owning and delivering software roadmaps end-to-end in agile environments, including managing complex dependencies and making strategic prioritisation decisions. You have deep experience in software architecture and system design, with the confidence to lead technical trade-off discussions and steer teams through significant modernisation efforts. You have a passion for providing high support through coaching, mentoring, and advocating for the career progression of your engineers. Your approach to leadership involves making fast, decentralised decisions and empowering your team to take ownership.

Senior/Applied Scientist - AI Products

On-sitefull timeSeniorMelbourne, Australia
Apply Now

The role and its impact This role is open at Applied Scientist or Senior Applied Scientist level, and we'll assess your experience and demonstrated capability through the process to find the right fit. You'll turn tough, ambiguous problems into elegant, data-driven products and services, moving between experimental design, prototyping, evaluation and more rigorous implementation depending on what the problem calls for. Some days that means a simple heuristic, others a traditional ML model, and others the latest in LLMs, and part of the job is judging which is genuinely right for the problem in front of you. Working closely with cross-functional peers and holding coding standards high, your work will help ideas move smoothly from theory into real-world deployment. You'll also help lift scientific capability across Xero, contributing to a culture of intellectual rigour, healthy scepticism and mutual respect, Going Further by making evidence-based thinking part of how Xero builds. The team and how they connect You'll join AI Products, a close-knit team of seven based in Melbourne, building intelligent services that make a real difference for small businesses. The team balances business priorities with research demands to solve tangible customer problems, and works together to match each one to the right approach rather than reaching for complexity by default. The team is currently working on Solving real business problems through experiment-based science, from framing the question through to rigorous implementation Choosing the right approach for each problem, whether that's a heuristic, a traditional ML model, or an LLM-based solution Writing testable, maintainable, reusable code in Python, building robust data pipelines alongside engineering peers Applying techniques such as NLP and computer vision to genuine product challenges at Xero's scale Where and how you can work Xero offers a flexible hybrid working model designed to blend the collaboration of office life with the autonomy of remote work. You will have access to our modern office spaces, with expectations around office days and collaborative 'boost days' aligned to help your team connect and ship great code effectively. Here are some of the things we're looking for, for this role Scientific curiosity sits alongside solid software engineering fundamentals, so you can write code that's testable, maintainable and built to last. Probability, linear algebra and calculus aren't just theory to you, they're tools you reach for when applying machine learning to real product problems. You've genuinely applied techniques like NLP or computer vision to live product challenges, not just studied them. Data wrangling and pipeline work are familiar ground, and you know what good evaluation, measurement and experimentation look like in practice. Faced with a loosely defined business problem, you can shape it into a clear research direction, working closely with product, design and engineering partners along the way. You hold yourself to high standards of integrity and ownership, and you pair confidence in your work with a healthy dose of scepticism about it. Apply even if your experience isn't a perfect match!
