If you enjoy flexibility in the way you work, and diving into difficult engineering problems while having the freedom to solve them creatively, this is the role for you. 

About the team:
The Data Reliability team  provides real time support to Xero’s customer facing applications and now, as we scale up Xero’s data platforms, have started developing world class tooling too. CASH pod specifically is a newly formed consultancy pod, servicing southern hemisphere products at Xero. We have taken the traditional responsibilities of DBAs, centralised them to one pod, and proactively engage with all areas of Xero to ensure we are building for scale and best practice.

On top of the proactive engagements, we have an incident response element, where we are called in to resolve issues with the Xero platform. This pod is a combination of 3 domains, who have consolidated to streamline process and resources.  We have engineers across Auckland, Wellington, Dunedin, Melbourne and Canberra (mostly hybrid). Our PM is based remotely in the Gold Coast and our Team Lead is Wellington based.
