As a Senior Data Engineer in our G&A Data & Analytics team, you will build the data products, pipelines and semantic layers that power decision making across Finance, People Experience and Legal. You will design and maintain a governed semantic layer in Snowflake, translating business concepts into metrics, dimensions and definitions that make data easy to trust and simple to use, while also helping shape the AI and agentic capabilities that give people conversational access to that data.
The numbers you help produce matter well beyond the team, feeding financial performance insights, workforce reporting and figures that are shared with our Executive Leadership Team, our Board and, ultimately, the market. It is a role with real visibility and real stakes, where the quality and reliability of your work directly shapes how confidently Xero can report on its own performance.
The team and how they connect
The G&A Data & Analytics team exists to empower Xeros across Finance, People Experience (PX) and other G&A functions with trusted data, analytics and AI‑driven insights that improve performance outcomes. We design, build and maintain data products and analytical capabilities that underpin Xero’s internal decision‑making – from financial performance and workforce health through to operational efficiency and strategic trade‑offs.
The team is currently working on
•
Snowflake and dbt as the backbone of our data platform, alongside an emerging agentic and AI layer built on reusable skills and MCP integrations
•
Bringing new revenue streams from recent acquisitions into a single, consolidated model so we can report Xero’s performance consistently
•
Building and testing dbt models and snapshots that support our monthly financial and workforce reporting cycles
•
Extending our semantic layer so more of G&A’s reporting can be answered conversationally, with the right guardrails in place
