Our Purpose 

At Xero, we’re here to help supercharge small businesses. We do this by automating routine tasks, surfacing actionable insights and connecting businesses with the right data, advisors and apps. When that happens, we’re not only making life better for small business, we’ll be building a stronger economy that can change the world.

The role

You will be a member of a team who are building a stream-oriented data platform. It's designed to speed up product development. The focus is on operational data, not analytics. We aim to build a foundational platform that supplies real-time information to other product  teams so they can build products and features quickly.

We use technologies like Flink, Kafka, and Java. The platform is hosted on AWS and uses DynamoDB and Apache Doris to store data. We're looking for senior software engineers with big data and stream processing experience who can operate confidently at the intersection of application and data engineering.

In order to be successful in this role, you will need:

  • Self-awareness and a growth mindset
  • A strong commitment to collaboration
  • Openness to learning from failure
  • The ability to bring clarity when things are ambiguous: you seek the answers you need and keep moving forward
  • Strong software engineering experience
  • Experience with at least some of the following technologies - Flink, Java, Go, Kubernetes, Kafka, Dynamo DB

What you need to know about the Melbourne Tech Scene

Home to 650 biotech companies, 10 major research institutes and nine universities, Melbourne is among one of the top cities for biotech. In fact, some of the greatest medical advancements were conceptualized and developed here, including Symex Lab's "lab-on-a-chip" solution that monitors hormones to predict ovulation for conception, and Denteric's vaccine for periodontal gum disease. Yet, the thousands of people working in the city's healthtech sector are just getting started, to say nothing of the tech advancements across all other sectors.
