2023 Graduate Engineer (Auckland) (Feb 2023)

The role

As a graduate engineer, you’ll have the opportunity to rotate through different specialisations in both product and platform teams. 

In our product teams, we innovate new features, fix bugs, and enhance functionality. Our teams are made up of front-end and back-end specialists, we work on desktop and mobile applications and do full-stack development. 

In our platform teams, we build things that last a long time and that everyone relies on. Rotations include platform development, site and data reliability, development, architecture, integration, and platform-as-a-service engineers.

With a choice of rotations throughout the grad year, you’re empowered to drive your own learning and explore different teams and ways of working. This will help you decide what is most important to you at this stage of your career and what you’d like to focus on.

What we’d like to see from you. Ideally, you’ll:

• be able to take a logical approach to work and cope well with change
• be a great communicator who likes working in agile teams
• like working with servers or data, and if you like to script or write code then that’s a great combo
• love problem solving, thinking on your feet, helping other people and taking the initiative
• enjoy investigating why things work, not just how they work
• enjoy building solutions for other Xero staff, removing pain points and making their lives easier

As a graduate engineer, you’ll get:

• four rotations across the technology teams in your grad year
• access to learning programs to build on your professional and technical skills
• support from your mentors, managers and the grad team
• networking opportunities across our global teams

If this sounds like you, get in touch. We’d love to hear from you.

How to apply

Due to the number of applications we receive, we ask that you only apply for one role in one location. Please take some time to research each opportunity available before submitting your application.

If you’re invited to a grad day, it will include technical and soft skills interviews, as well as group and individual challenges.
