We’re building a new AI-native product engineering team for this ambitious project and are hiring across multiple senior engineering roles. We’re looking for senior product engineers who thrive in ambiguity, are energized by big challenges, and want to shape 0→1 products from the ground

What You'll Do

• Build from 0→1: Design, develop, and deliver new product experiences in an emerging AI-driven product area.
• Collaborate deeply: Partner with product, design, and data to explore user problems and prototype solutions quickly.
• Embrace ambiguity: Define your own path in areas where requirements and technologies are still evolving.
• Engineer for scale and quality: Write robust, high-quality, and maintainable software using modern technologies and engineering standards.
• Leverage AI-native tools: Use AI-assisted development, prototyping, and testing workflows to increase velocity and creativity.
• Shape the culture: Help build a high-trust, high-autonomy engineering culture modeled after modern startups.
• Continuously learn: Stay on the cutting edge of software, AI, and product development practices - and share that knowledge with the team.

What You'll Bring

• 6+ years of software engineering experience, ideally in full-stack or product-engineering roles.
• Experience building and scaling user-facing products, ideally from early concept to launch.
• Proficiency in one or more modern programming languages (e.g. TypeScript, Kotlin, Python, or C#, Golang) and comfort working across the stack.
• Experience with React/Typescript, React Native, or similar frameworks is a plus.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and modern delivery practices (CI/CD, containers, automated testing).
• Strong product sense - the ability to translate user needs and product goals into technical solutions.
• Passion for AI tools and workflows - you use them to work smarter and faster.
• Curiosity, autonomy, and bias for action - you don’t wait for direction to make progress.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills; ability to work in cross-functional, distributed teams.

About the team

• This new team is being built to operate like a startup within Xero - small, fast-moving, and entrepreneurial. We combine Xero’s scale and data advantage with a lean mindset, embracing modern AI-assisted development practices. You’ll help define the engineering foundations, product direction, and culture from day one.
• Diversity of people brings diversity of thought - and we love that. Xero’s human-first culture of respect, fairness, and inclusion helps every Xero thrive at work and beyond.
