As a senior engineer, you'll spend most of your time in hands-on work: writing and reviewing code, joining design reviews, responding to incidents and building proofs of concept. You'll help shape how the platform is secured, released and operated.\nYour impact is measured in results. Today the platform runs at 99.95% uptime, with 100% path-to-production compliance, zero Sev 1 or Sev 2 incidents and 150 to 200 deployments a month. You'll help maintain that standard as the platform scales significantly. This role lets you Go Bold by challenging how the platform is built, Go Fast by removing friction to production, Go Further by building things that last and Go Together by lifting capability across every team that depends on you.\nThe team and how they connect\nThe Platform team sits within Customer Platforms, the engineering group behind Xero's go-to-market and customer experience technology. You'll work closely with engineering leaders across Security, Data and AI, and with colleagues across Australia, New Zealand and our offshore partners.\nThe team is currently working on\nPlatform security: access control, Connected Apps governance and vulnerability remediation, setting the standards that make secure the default.\n\nCI/CD and release engineering: championing automation so every engineer building on the platform can ship safely and quickly.\n\nObservability and operational health: growing observability, managing org limits and preventing customer-facing issues before they start.\n\nAgent path-to-production: building a safe route from idea to production for agentic changes, including evaluation baselines, an agent registry and shared standards. This is a new area with no established playbook, so you'll help write it.\n\nWhere and how you can work\nBased in Melbourne, we encourage one day a week in the office to stay connected with your peers. The pods you support are spread across Australia, New Zealand and offshore, so you'll be comfortable building trust and aligning people asynchronously and in writing.\nHere are some of the things we are looking for\nYou bring hands-on Salesforce development depth at enterprise scale, from code and reviews through to production support, with a platform engineering mindset.\n\nYour background includes owning CI/CD pipelines and release engineering across major release cycles, with GitHub, SFDX and test automation experience.\n\nYou've secured platforms that other teams depend on, and you've turned post-incident reviews into lasting change.\n\nYou can make code and design decisions across multiple teams, and you write RFCs and design docs that build alignment through persuasion rather than authority.\n\nYou help senior engineers grow through code review standards, and you use AI tooling fluently while evolving your own practice as the tools change.\n\nYou turn business goals into technical plans with Product, and you're comfortable pushing back on unclear scope.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3107,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["HR & Payroll Software","Accounting & Tax Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-14T09:04:49Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":31,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-14T21:02:23Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/xero-senior-engineer-salesforce-platform","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/xero-senior-engineer-salesforce-platform.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-14T21:02:23Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":28097,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":5206},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=5206"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fxero-senior-engineer-salesforce-platform"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fxero-senior-engineer-salesforce-platform"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fxero-senior-engineer-salesforce-platform"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/xero-senior-engineer-salesforce-platform\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fxero-senior-engineer-salesforce-platform"}]}
