  • Developing integrations to strategic third-party partners like Google, Microsoft and Shopify

About EcoTech - As part of our mission, we are focused on:

  • Building tools that enable product engineers within Ecosystem to build reliable customer-centric products quickly and with modern tools and processes. 
  • Bringing in practices from other groups/orgs and sharing our own - we’ve led the way in build services now adopted by hundreds of teams across Xero.
  • Ensuring CI/CD best practices are maintained and utilised - we aim to be able to deploy any service to production rapidly with full automated testing and validation.

  • Experience advocating for DevOps practices as critical to good Software Engineering.
  • Experience with CI / CD, infrastructure automation and monitoring. 
  • Experience in software development in any high-level language - we build our tools in C# / Go / Python but we’re comfortable teaching you if you don’t know these!

  • Passion for building and maintaining software tools to automate and improve developers workflows.
