Graduate Security Engineer null

The role

The security of our product is fundamental to Xero. The security teams work with all areas of the business to ensure our systems are secure. We keep the good in and the bad out. We help engineers produce secure products, defend Xero from cyber attacks, and do everything in between.

You’ll have the opportunity to rotate within different security teams or spend one or more rotations in our core technical program. You’ll be self-driven, enjoy collaborating with different teams across the business, and thrive on technical challenges. All you need is an interest in security, you don’t need to have studied it.

Security engineers are focused on the technical side of security at Xero and help build the foundations for ensuring our product is kept safe and secure. 

The security engineer role will see you doing a range of jobs including:

• building security infrastructure
• ensuring correct internal access management
• helping engineers make sure their code is built with security at its core
• building defences against external threats to our customers

Ideally, you’ll:

• have a passion for and express interest in the security and privacy of our customers
• 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 Xeros, removing pain points and making their lives easier
• diving deep and analysing root causes of issues and potential vulnerabilities

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