The role / impact
As a Senior Full Stack Engineer, you will help design, build, and operate the front-end experiences sitting at Xero's digital front door. Primarily focusing on xero.com and connected signup journeys, you will deliver customer-facing improvements that elevate acquisition outcomes while maintaining the performance and reliability of a high-traffic public platform.
You will bring technical depth to the pod, shaping implementation quality and driving front-end craft forward. Balancing experimentation speed with platform health, you will own complex initiatives end to end, mentor fellow engineers, and help simplify solutions across both front-end and back-end environments.
The team / how they connect
The Acquisition pod is a cross-functional group of engineers, product managers, designers, and growth specialists working across Australia and North America. We collaborate closely to deliver seamless digital customer experiences while maintaining high engineering standards, respectful challenge, and space for different working styles.
Initially, you will focus on
Building and refining reusable components within modern web architectures using React, TypeScript, Next.js, and Node.js.
Enhancing site performance, Core Web Vitals, and accessibility across high-converting user flows.
Partnering with product, design, and search engine optimisation specialists to deploy rapid A/B experiments and funnel optimisations.
Collaborating with platform and customer-technology teams to integrate downstream services, forms, and content management systems.
Where and how you can work
This position is ideally based in Melbourne with flexible working options available but we are open to Brisbane and Sydney too. While there are no fixed office attendance mandates, team members often connect in person weekly at our offices to collaborate. We support flexible arrangements so you can balance team connection with your personal working style.
Here are some of the things we are looking for
Experience building scalable UI systems and maintainable architecture with React, TypeScript, and modern server-side rendering frameworks like Next.js.
Solid foundations in full-stack web development, including Node.js and familiarity with cloud environments like AWS.
A background in testing discipline, component libraries like Storybook, and web performance optimisation.
Strong ownership and clear communication, enabling you to partner effectively across engineering, design, product, and growth teams.
Curiosity about customer behaviour, using data and experimentation to shape technical decisions and pragmatic trade-offs.
A collaborative mindset with a focus on mentoring peers, raising code quality, and building an inclusive engineering environment.
Apply even if your experience isn't a perfect match! At Xero, we hire based on your skills, passion, and the unique perspective you can bring to enhance our culture and team.
