Xero is seeking a Senior Salesforce Engineer to deliver high-quality features across its Salesforce platform and connected sales tools over a 3–6 month horizon. You will connect each feature to customer and business outcomes, using data, customer insights, and AI tools to make thoughtful trade-offs between speed and engineering quality.
You will work across teams and with cross-functional stakeholders to bring clarity to technical solution designs, improve engineering practices, and elevate overall system scalability. You will mentor team members, contribute to incident response, and ensure reliable, zero-impact production deployments.
Key responsibilities include:
- Designing and delivering Salesforce features using the right balance of Apex, Lightning Web Components, and declarative tools like Flows
- Supporting connected sales tools and managed package upgrades, such as PandaDoc, Gong, and Outreach
- Setting up production monitoring, SLOs, and error handling while managing sandbox refreshes and release deployments
- Collaborating with sales leaders, technical peers, and cross-functional partners to solve complex platform challenges
- Actively participating in agile ceremonies, sharing constructive feedback, and supporting team members
- Taking collective ownership of technical excellence, continuous improvement, and delivering software that makes a meaningful difference
The team fosters an inclusive, high-performing environment with flexible hybrid working that balances remote work with in-office collaboration. You will have access to collaborative team areas and dedicated community days to connect with peers in person.
Requirements:
- Experience developing software using Apex, LWC, SOQL, and declarative Salesforce tools
- A practical approach to using AI responsibly across feature development, debugging, and system log analysis
- Deep expertise in a key Salesforce area such as Sales Cloud, CPQ, Data Cloud, or integrations
- Background in building and maintaining REST APIs and platform event integrations
- Familiarity with source control, deployment tooling like Salesforce CLI, and continuous integration pipelines
- Proven track record of handling production incidents, root-cause investigations, and quality assurance through TDD and trunk-based development
- Strong stakeholder communication skills—the ability to explain technical concepts clearly, navigate competing priorities, and keep people aligned across functions
