Senior Mobile Engineer (Android)

We’re looking for a Senior Android Engineer who builds and maintains Xero Me's mobile applications, part of our Payroll product used by small businesses, that help employees and employers manage critical payroll and workforce moments (pay, leave, timesheets, expenses, documents) with reliability and excellence. They drive high-velocity product delivery while ensuring system security, scalability and performance across native iOS/Android apps and supporting services. By combining hands-on engineering excellence with mentorship and technical leadership, they directly improve the employee experience at scale while elevating the entire team's engineering craft and capability.

This is a rare opportunity to own outcomes that matter — you're not just writing code, you're shaping how a million of employees and employers experience critical financial moments (pay, leave, expenses). You'll work at a genuine technical scale with the autonomy to design systems, lead API contracts, and drive architectural decisions that stick, not just execute someone else's vision.

Critically, you'll evolve as a cross-platform engineer — Xero is intentionally moving from platform-specific to cross-platform mobile engineering, and this role puts you at the center of that transformation. You'll deepen your expertise in your native platform (Android or iOS) while building real fluency in the other, gai
