xero · AU: Melbourne: (260 Burwood Rd)
Skills: Python
The role and its impact You'll turn tough, ambiguous problems into elegant, data-driven products and services, moving between experimental design, prototyping, evaluation and more rigorous implementation depending on what the problem calls for. Some days that means a simple heuristic, others a traditional ML model, and others the latest in LLMs, and part of the job is judging which is genuinely right for the problem in front of you. Working closely with cross-functional peers and holding coding standards high, your work will help ideas move smoothly from theory into real-world deployment. You'll also help lift scientific capability across Xero, contributing to a culture of intellectual rigour, healthy scepticism and mutual respect, Going Further by making evidence-based thinking part of how Xero builds. The team and how they connect You'll join AI Products, a close-knit team of seven based in Melbourne, building intelligent services that make a real difference for small businesses. The team balances business priorities with research demands to solve tangible customer problems, and works together to match each one to the right approach rather than reaching for complexity by default. The team is currently working on - Solving real business problems through experiment-based science, from framing the question through to rigorous implementation - Choosing the right approach for each problem, whether that's a heuristic, a traditional ML model, or an LLM-based solution - Writing testable, maintainable, reusable code in Python, building robust data pipelines alongside engineering peers - Applying techniques such as NLP and computer vision to genuine product challenges at Xero's scale Where and how you can work Xero offers a flexible hybrid working model designed to blend the collaboration of office life with the autonomy of remote work. You will have access to our modern office spaces, with expectations around office days and collaborative 'boost days' aligned to help your…
