## About the role

Millions of small businesses and their advisors use Xero reports and insights to decide what to do next. AI is changing how people understand their finances faster than any shift since the cloud, and Reporting & Insights is where Xero meets that change. Over the next few years we’re evolving reporting and insights for the agentic era, where customers ask an AI about their numbers as often as they open a Balance Sheet. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- You’ve set technical strategy for a domain or portfolio over a 2 to 3 year horizon, and aligned multiple teams behind it
- You’ve led the evolution of a large, high-traffic, correctness-critical system across organisational boundaries
- You have depth in high-throughput, low-latency, resilient distributed systems and data-heavy architecture, and you still contribute hands-on where it matters
- You connect external shifts, AI above all, to product and architecture strategy, and you know where LLMs and agents belong in a system
- You grow leaders. You’ve mentored Lead and Senior Engineers into bigger roles, and your writing turns complex direction into decisions people act on
